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.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was good if not a little out dated, June 2, 1998

This review is from: A Crime for Christmas (Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mysteries #2) (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a great mystery (one of the more complicated ones) where nancy and bess find themselves in New york for Christmas where the Stumble on to Frank and Joe Hardy. It is an older book and contains part of Nancy and Franks "almost romance" (which is my total weakspot) i would definitely recomend this book. It is one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!, October 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Crime for Christmas (Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mysteries #2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I love nancy drew and hardy boys supermysteries. that's the only time i read them now cause i love it when they're 2-gether!!This book is the absolute best one!!!

I swear Ned and Callie hold nancy and Frank back. And you know when he started to say something what it was!!! But i love that Jean-Claude is a prince!!! He seemed sooooooooo awesome.

Back to nancy and frank I totally agree with those who think that they should hook up!! I mean they never bring Callie with them so i mean COME ON!!!! Bring on the romance!!! (between nancy and frank that is, ned doesn't deserve her he'd rather study than be with her.)

I also love Bess she's a lot like me but then again i guess i am a mix of george and bess a shopping girl but tomboy in one.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Crime for Christmas (Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mysteries #2) (Mass Market Paperback)

In this book Frank and Joe Hardy invite Nancy Drew and her trustey companion, Bess Marvin to help find a couple of wanted jewel theifs. In the book Bess falls head over heals for a young man who the group later finds out is the prince who will be signing the countrys treatey. Joe is jelous of Bess's new found boyfriend. It turns out that the prince's superviser is behind the prince's kidnapping. Well actually the prince pays some goons to pretend that they are kidnapping him once or twice or so. The prince can get away from his body gaurds with no trouble. For all those Nancy/Frank fans this book has some romantic moments. Frank almost tells Nancy how he feels about her. It turns out the jewel theifs are a girl Joe gets a little crush on and her father. Nancy tricks the groups kidnapper into thinking she has trigered a bomb that could blow any second. This book is so enjoyable, I read this book about 25 to 50 times. I can read this in 1 hour but thats why I was nick named Book Worm. I sugest you read this book and then you decide if you liked reading it or not. Happy Reading....
