Re: Nancy Drew
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:

Re: Nancy Drew
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.

Re: Nancy Drew
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.

Re: Nancy Drew
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!!

Re: Nancy Drew
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

Re: Nancy Drew
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
