I pre-ordered this for my five-year old daughter. She loves everything Fancy Nancy, and we have all of the other books. At the time of the order, there wasn't a description, so I was really surprised when it arrived and it was a chapter book (124 pages total) with a minimum of black and white drawings every few pages. I decided we would read a chapter a night. We already read four books at bedtime, and I figured we would replace one of the four books with a chapter from this book. She convinced me to read two that first night and two the next night. Today she was out of school for Good Friday and woke up talking about the book. We sat down and finished the book this morning, and she sat in rapt attention listening to every word, and commenting on it occasionally. She absolutely loved it, and then played detective for an hour after we were done. I highly recommend this book. Now that we are done, she still wants to read a few chapters each night. You also find out the name of Nancy's dad in this book, and Mrs. Devine's childhood name. We can't wait for more in this series of chapter books!

My daughter got this for Easter and loves it! She still loves other Fancy Nancy books, but is very into chapter books now. She is already asking when the next one will come out! I have not seen her this excited about a book in awhile!

Fancy Nancy who has been so popular with little girls, is growing up and now appears in her first chapter book for ages (7-10).
Fancy Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth, features Nancy and her best friend Bree. Both girls love Nancy Drew books, and have learned a thing of two from them. When her teachers favorite blue marble disappears Nancy, dressed in a pink trench coat and sunglasses is on the case. She and Bree turn the tree house into a detective agency, and are determined to solve the mystery of of missing blue marble.
As with the previously Fancy Nancy books, there are plenty of new words and definitions to be found in this book. It's not just a fun mystery, but it is educational as well.
As an adult, I can appreciate the intent to have a continued appeal to girls who are a bit older than the target age of the original Fancy Nancy series. I felt this one was still awfully fun, but just seemed a tad less "fancy" ( fewer illustrations, black and white), than the earlier books geared toward younger girls. Fancy Nancy fans will still like it. (4.5/5 stars)
