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.

This review is from: Valentine's Day Secret (Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #12) (Paperback)

Nancy and the Clue Crew are having a ball at Farmer Fran's Barnyard Buddies. It's a really cool place where you can make your own stuffed animal pals. But somebody has started a problem between Nancy's best pals, Bess and George! There's been a nasty note planted in the pocket of one of those do-it-yourself animals, and the girls suspect each other!

Will America's favorite junior detective be able to keep her friends together, or will the trouble-maker triumph?

Young readers will adore unraveling the clues along with Nancy. Valentine's Day Secret is a cute mystery that will entice your child to read more, more, more!
