Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up

NANCY DISCOVERS DINOSAUR FOOTPRINTS IN HER OWN BACKYARD!

The most annoying boys in Nancy's class offer her a deal. If she can prove that a giant footprint they've found on the school grounds was really made by a dinosaur, they'll stop teasing her and her friends -- forever!

Always ready to take on a case, Nancy agrees, though she thinks the boys are wrong. Dinosaurs never roamed River Heights -- or did they? But then she gets a mean note: "Don't go where you don't belong!" When Nancy finds huge footprints in her own backyard, she's hunting everywhere for answers. It's a monster of a mystery, and she doesn't have a zillion years to solve it!

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: Dinosaur Alert! (Nancy Drew Notebooks #40) (Paperback)

Even America's top kid detective can be annoyed by pesky boys in her third-grade class. Wouldn't you like to get some pests off your case?

When these annoying boys make Nancy Drew an offer to finally leave her Bess and George alone, she had to accept. All she had to do was solve a mystery -- something right up her alley!

All she has to do is prove that a gigantic footprint found on the grounds of her elementary school was left behind by a dinosaur. Nancy sure doesn't buy that story, but she sure wants the pests to leave her alone.

The mystery deepens when a footprint is found in Nancy's own yard! What is a skilled detective to do?

Carolyn Keene has presented yet another super mystery for her young readers to love -- and come running back for more!

Dinosaur Alert! is a really fun read.
