More About the Author

Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are the pseudonyms under which many ghostwriters penned the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, respectively. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet, and syndicate writer Mildred Wirt Benson were the two people primarily responsible for bringing the iconic character of Nancy Drew to life in the minds and hearts of millions of readers around the world.

This review is from: Candy Is Dandy (Nancy Drew Notebooks No. 38) (Paperback)

Eight-year-old Nancy Drew and her classmates are on their way to one of the best school field-trips ever -- Zuckerman's Zonked Candy Factory. It's a delight for all the senses. Imagine the sweet smells, tastes -- and imagine a big brick factory painted to look as though every brick was a different colored jelly bean!

When the owner of the factory shows Nancy his piece de resistance -- a new recipe for a secret candy that is sure to be his best ever, everyone is excited and happy. Well, they are happy until the hot new recipe disappears!

Who could have pilfered the precious paper? Of course, it's Nancy Drew to the rescue!
