My daughter is a second grader and I am trying to help her fall in love with reading. This book series is fantastic. I have finally found enjoyable reading at her level that keeps her attention the whole time.

If your daughter likes chapter books and solving puzzles; then this is a great book for her. The characters come to life and have separate personalities. The stories are simple and fun. I finish one and my daughter immediately wants another book. If I get through all the ones I order online then she wants me to re-read them. They have about 8 chapters so I make it last a week with 2 chapters on the last night. I started my daughter out when she was 3, on the old Raggedy Ann and Andy chapter books which are in reprint now. She had a little bit of a hard time going from a book with all pictures to a book where you imagine most of it. The Nancy Drew stories were a little hard to get started on because her complaint was that the pictures (1 or 2 per chapter) are all black and white drawings. I told her that she can look at the cover to see the color picture. Once she heard the first chapter, she didn't care if it had pictures or not. She was hooked. You know I liked these books so well I just bought my daughter's school a set of 10 for their library. They are really good. If you want your child to start early on reading get them started on this series. I hope that one day my daughter will be reading them to me. :o) Enjoy!

Rebecca Ramirez is having a slumber party. Her parents allow her only to invite eight guests. The next day she loses her party invitations and some more very important items for the party. Nancy, her friend, was willing to help her, along with Bess and George too. Some sneaky things go on before the party and during it.
Usually first books are not as good as the rest of a series, but this one seems to be very good. Actually it is the best one I read so far.

These are really kool stuff. I simply can't stop reading. Please keep writing more&more&more books. Publish them often.

If you like mysteries, you will like this book. It's adventerous, a little scary and fun as Nancy tries to figure out who stole the party invitations from Rebecca.

This is an excellent childrens book. I read them when I was little. My little cousin Anna just loves them. This is a series that never fails to please the childs mind. It's good for kids who have just started reading short novels.

Everybody has to start somewhere, and it appears that Nancy Drew got her start as America's favorite spunky girl detective way back in third grade as a smart little eight-year-old!

Nancy and friends are pleased to be invited to their first ever sleepover party, but there seems to be a problem! The invitations and things for the party go missing. Nancy gets a notebook, starts recording all the clues and amazes all her friends by cracking the case of The Slumber Party Secret!

If you've got a little Nancy Drew fan in your circle, don't let her miss out on seeing how her heroine got her start! This is a fun read that will stimulate further interest in reading.

Loved it!

The three of my ten granddaughter's who are old enough to enjoy the "Notebooks" and "Books" about Nancy Drew's adventures, are still, nearly six months after Christmas, loving Nancy Drew. I was an avid fan from 11 to 13, and I can still enjoy the books I saved for almost fifty years! The only drawback, I've noticed is the vocabulary has been "dumbed down" somewhat for today's child whose education in English is simply "poor". I had hoped for the originals and perhaps they are available?--A GREAT tool for an increased vocabulary.

I was not expecting books for younger children when I ordered the two notebooks (1,2) but still its interesting to see how the detective got started. Its also interesting to see that she was "following dad" the whole time. I love the red herrings

Nancy Drew is a eight years old girl and a third grader.
She is invited a birth day's party one of her friends is going to have. But it seems that somebody want to ruin the party. She is asked to solve troubles from the friend because she is good at finding lost things. And she finds that she likes solving problems as she solve this case.

Nancy Drew is a very famous mystery series. They appeared 1929 as a detective story of Nancy Drew who was a high-school student. This series has over 170 books. The Nancy Drew Notebook series appeared 1994 for beginner readers. And this series have 69 books.
This series was made as first chapter books for children. But I think this book is not easy like other first chapter books. Also this book has too many words as a first chapter book.
Even so I had come familiar with the people in the book soon after I began to read. This may be because of the author's skill. Also the books in this series was written by simple and standard English. Recently many children books include many funny or dirty words and phrases.
I couldn't find this kinds of words and phrases in this book. Then I think the books in this series are good references for writing English sentences.

Happy Reading!
