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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have not read the book but...., September 10, 2001

My god! I did not realize how many people felt the same way about the Frank and Nancy situation as I did! I mean, What Carolyn Keene and or Franklin Dixon need to do is just get Callie and Ned out of the picture and get Frank and Nancy together. I mean, come on in Secrets of the Nile, they defenatly had sparks between them, especially at the end of the book. Any girl knows that you can not wish for a guy to kiss you like that, and then say "Well, I'm in love with my current boyfriend right now, even though I think about you night and day, whenever we're together on case" That's just craziness! I know that this is just a book, but come on! I just want to see one series when Frank and Nancy are together and I don't care who writes the thing. Heck, if I get the support for it, I'll write the series, if I could get the copyrights to it. Anyways, email me at ... and tell me what you think!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can find it, you should read it., November 1, 1999

This book was cool because Nancy & Frank... Well, you'll have to find out. Honestly, though, if you were trapped in a cabin with a really hot guy (or girl) and you thought you were going to die, what would you do? Nancy should end up with Frank because Ned is a total wimp and he always tells her to drop her cases. Frank doesn't do that, he helps her get them solved. What a pair they make!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best one yet, May 13, 2002

I think this is the best Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Supermystery of all. I finally was able to locate it in December. I have been wanting to read it for years, but I never could find it. It has an interesting plot intertwined with just enough romance that it's not too mushy.

I agree with the other readers, Ned should have been left out. Carolyn Keene should definately write a series without Ned and Callie. Frank and Nancy are meant to be.
