Product Description
Let me introduce myself. I'm Nancy Drew. Some call me a girl detective. Others call me "that girl who cooked my goose." But everyone calls me sharp -- especially when it comes to crime. And since mystery and I follow each other everywhere, I'm pretty busy. Take a look inside at some of my favorite cases, and you'll see what I mean! P#1 Without a Trace P#2 A Race Against Time P#3 False Notes P#4 High Risk

 New twist on an old fave August 25, 2007

This is a good set of books for the young teen with lots of fun and a mystery to solve before Nancy can. If your child thinks the original Nancy is too old fashioned then this will win her over as it is set in the "here and now" with cell phones, the internet and all the usual suspects of the 90's and beyond. Definitely worth a read.
 New Nancy a bit like Paris Hilton July 18, 2007

For those of us who grew up reading the yellow Nancy Drew series, prepare to be disappointed with the new series. Yes, there is no more Nancy picking out which frock to wear, or references to baking casseroles, which seemed antiquated back in the 70's. However, if you can overlook the dated feeling of the yellow series, Nancy, despite the June Ward stereotype, was a smart young woman. Girls could look up to the old Nancy as a shrewd, moral, pretty, bright, courageous young woman, who was thoughtful, had good manners, was considerate, and was aware of her femininity, but didn't let that stop her from being a terrific detective whom everyone, male and female alike, admired. br /I purchased a new Nancy Drew for my niece and began to thumb through it. The new Nancy talks about a boy looking at her "long and hard" in one book, and whether she should tell the boy staring at her that she has a boyfriend. The word "sleazy" is mentioned, and it seems that Nancy has been transformed from a smart young woman for pre-adolescent girls to admire to a modern, superficial teenage romance novel girl. The new Nancy, it seems, has lost a lot of her intelligence, replaced with cliquish, materialistic, superficiality, a girl whose inner musings remind one of a teenage tabloid magazine gossip column. Definitely a disappointment- not the wholesome heroine I was hoping for my daughter to read about and emulate. I'd rather skip over the "Betty Crocker" stuff in the old yellow series and read those instead.

These books are great. They are so much better then the other ones. The other ones were kinda boring. These are exicting. You can tell what Nancy is thinking and feeling. If you like Mystery and cliff-hangers then buy this boxset now. This boxset is a good way to start the series.

I am not a big fan of the girl detective series even though i love nancy drew. nancy is now rather forgetful (i liked the perfect nancy better) and most the new mysteries are rather lousy. i guess simon and schuster ran out of ideas for new books after doing 300+ mysteries. i do enjoy the new found richness of the characters that people say they lost in the 1990's (i partly agree). bess is now a mechanic, george is a computer whiz, and nancy cant remember to fill up her car with gas! some of the stories are kind of repeaters of the original series and even the tile of one is the same as nancy drew #66 even though the story is way different.

Nice starter set for my 9yo daughter. Classic, a bit dated but holds up well. Nice quick easy read.
