About the Author

Carolyn Keene is the author of the ever-popular Nancy Drew (All New) Girl Detective and Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew series.

Macky Pamintuan was born and raised in Davao, a city in the southern Philippines. As a young child, drawing was his favorite pastime and an activity that brought him delight and satisfaction. Early on, his parents discovered that giving him paper and pencil was a sure way to keep him busy, quiet, and out of trouble. He still remembers the day when he successfully drew Mickey Mouse and Superman, a huge breakthrough and a sweet triumph. He moved to San Francisco at age 21 and in 1998 enrolled in the Academy of Art College to pursue illustration. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in December 2003 and placed on the President's Honor List. When not illustrating, Macky enjoys playing basketball, his other true passion.

My daughter is 9 years old and absolutely loves the Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew books. I started with this one since she takes ballet and I think I will end up buying her the rest of the collection. She really loves these books and gets really into them. Sometimes she will sit and read for a couple of hours because she wants to finish the book and see what happens at the end!!! I highly recommend them!

Great Series!! I purchased Books 1-8, for an 8-year old...she absolutely loves them. She enjoys reading, and since she is required to read 30-minutes every night for school, the chapter books come in very handy. She often finds herself reading more than 30-minutes, because she wants to finish a certain chapter, etc. The stories are great, fun, interesting, the illustrations are okay. She looks forward to following the main characters throughout the different series. Also worth mentioning, is the "activity" page within the books; they are projects that can be done later if interested, and if you enjoy doing some craft with your little ones every once in a while, it's a nice addition (sometimes she wants to do them...thankfully not always). Highly recommend the books, and will definitely be purchasing additional series. The Cinderella Ballet Mystery (Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #4)

My 8 year old granddaughter enjoys this series very much. She is a hesitant reader who has found some joy in reading this series. She looks forward to our nightly reading from her Nancy Drew books.
