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.

4.0 out of 5 stars I think it was a goood book from my school library, January 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Soccer Shoe Clue (Nancy Drew Notebooks #5) (Paperback)

I think it was a good book, but when Nancy found clues in all the books that I've read, it was the most interesting. One that I really liked was called the "Sercret at Solaire".I read alot of Nancy Drew books from my school library.But the Soccer Shoe Clue was one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another big case for our little Nancy Drew!, January 15, 2008

This review is from: The Soccer Shoe Clue (Nancy Drew Notebooks #5) (Paperback)

Carolyn Keene once again shows that she has her finger on the pulse of what young fans want to read about. This time, the background of the mystery is soccer team rivalry!

Nancy and her friends are all on the same soccer team, and when a new girl moves into town and joins their team, strange things start to happen to disrupt practice. You just can't help but suspect the new girl, because she used to play on the rival team!

Could she be the one who put salt in the drinking water, put equipment in the trash and even slimed someone's shoe? Don't go jumping to conclusions. It's Nancy Drew that will crack the case of The Soccer Shoe Clue!

Cute book, but too simple for a 9-year old.
