Have you ever wondered if Nancy Drew was a real person?  And did you know that the Nancy Drew series has more than one author?  Find out this information and more in "The Story of Nancy Drew."  This is a non fiction book that shares the history of the Nancy Drew series.  Plots from several of the books are also discussed.

Black and white photos help the reader stay engaged with the text.  I thought the book was interesting but I am not sure that it would hold the interest of students who are not familiar with Nancy Drew.  I enjoyed reading about how the character Nancy Drew changed over the years.
