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.

Nancy is at Deer Mountain Lodge to help her father with a case involving jewel thieves and soon finds another mystery. A haunted bridge! How Nancy solves both mysteries and competes in a golf tournament despite her injurred arm is exciting and fun reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Nancy Drew of Series, My Daughter and I Agree, January 30, 2005

B. Robinson - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Haunted Bridge (Nancy Drew, Book 15) (Hardcover)

This is the best Nancy Drew story of the entire series. My daughter and I have read both versions, my older copy published in the thirties and the newer version I purchased for her for her birthday. She prefers the newer version, while I like the older one, but we both agree this is the best of the series. I remember reading my copy four or five times in my youth.

I understand this series was written by many different people using the same pen-name. They really knew what they were doing. A ghostly scarecrow, a mysterious jewel box, an obnoxious admirer, and girls on an unsupervised vacation. What a way to appeal to girls of all ages, even grown-up ones. I think they got the formula just right for this one. This is still one of my favorite feel-good, read-again books. My daughter is reading her copy again as I am writing this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book!, October 29, 2006

Book Lover "Rachel" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Haunted Bridge (Nancy Drew, Book 15) (Hardcover)

I really liked this book!
In this one, there is a lot of stolen jewlery, a rumor about bridge being haunted near the Deer Mountain Hotel where Nancy is staying, etc., and on top of it all, a man who constantly follows Nancy and who might be a forger! Nancy also enters a golf tournament and even though it sounds really boring (unless you like golf), it wasn't boring.
This book is very exciting! Read it!
