"This is a younger Nancy Drew for the new millenium. Like Nancy, Abbie has all of the spunk and precociousness that is required to make this a fun read for young girls." -- Alycia Harris, reviewer

This review is from: Abbie, Girl Spy - The Ducks and Diamonds Mystery (Audio CD)

Lindsay Lohan's debut on an audio book is superb! The Abbie Girl Spy series features a brilliant young heroine for today's youth. The mystery is intriguing and quite a page turner. If parents are looking for an excellent series for their daughter, look no further. I have also read the other books in the series and can highly recommend them!
