About the Author

Carolyn Keene is the author of the ever-popular Nancy Drew (All New) Girl Detective and Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew series.

Macky Pamintuan was born and raised in Davao, a city in the southern Philippines. As a young child, drawing was his favorite pastime and an activity that brought him delight and satisfaction. Early on, his parents discovered that giving him paper and pencil was a sure way to keep him busy, quiet, and out of trouble. He still remembers the day when he successfully drew Mickey Mouse and Superman, a huge breakthrough and a sweet triumph. He moved to San Francisco at age 21 and in 1998 enrolled in the Academy of Art College to pursue illustration. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in December 2003 and placed on the President's Honor List. When not illustrating, Macky enjoys playing basketball, his other true passion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nancy Drew for 2nd / 3rd grade, September 23, 2006

This review is from: Sleepover Sleuths (Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #1) (Paperback)

My daughter just started second grade and she is already on the third book in this series. They are funny, well written and perfect for her reading level (she reads at her grade level) I love that fact that she is getting an introduction to the Nancy Drew characters, as I loved this series when I was a girl and in a couple of years she can read all my old Nancy Drew books herself. I highly recommend this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Nancy solves a great mystery, July 26, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sleepover Sleuths (Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #1) (Paperback)

This book is about a girl who invites Nancy to her house for a sleepover birthday party. The next morning the girl's favorite doll is gone, but she doesn't tell her parents. Then her Dad asks her to bring her doll to a tea party the next day. Can Nancy find the doll in time? Read the book to find out. This book is good for an 8-year-old because Nancy is eight years old in this book.

This review is from: Sleepover Sleuths (Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #1) (Paperback)

My daughter is a second grader and loves this series. She has read all the available ones. She can't put the book down till she has read the last page. It is addictive but great for little girls.
