But I think those books are meant for small kids. But I enjoyed them even though they are not as interesting as the ones in which she was a teenager.
Has anybody read this book? It is the one I liked best:

Before the Clues Crew Series that you've pictured Elizabeth, there was a series of Nancy Drew books (The Nancy Drew Notebooks) that were also about Nancy and co when they were 8 years old. They are very cute to read! All have nice morals. There were 69 of them - some with similar titles to the newer Clues Crew ones.

Ria ann - I've read Real Fake - I enjoyed it - the particular series it is from is good because they are thicker than the Girl Detective series and so offer a juicier plot!
I've also got all the new Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys books but haven't found them to be as good as the original Nancy Drew/Hardy boys books from the 80's/90's.

Even I was amazed.But the Nancy in the books when she was small doesn't look as nice as the ones in she was a teenager.

It's only an artist's interpretation - you can imagine her however you like. :)

I've read one or two Nancy Drew many years back and found them enjoyable. I remember one of the books had a picture of a lighthouse on the front, and the lighthouse was actually Godrevy Lighthouse in St. Ives Bay, which is one of the reasons why I bought that particular book. But of course it wasn't set in Cornwall at all!!

I've put the pics of 30.I wanted to look at the pic of one and as the google results came,I saw another pic I haden't seen and that led me to all the other pics.If you want to search this child one instead of the teenager one you should type in Google Images - Nancy Drew And the Clue Crew Books

I think that you have posted the images of all the books .I have been to this site : http://www.nancydrewsleuth.com/thecluecrew.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and it says there are 31 books. But when I googled the 31st book it turned out to be a super mystery with the Hardy Boys :? :? :?
