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 Great Book!!!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Whispering Statue (Nancy Drew #14) (Hardcover)

I thought this book was one of the best Nancy Drew books I've ever read! It was so good with a whispering statue and all. I loved this book because you never know who did it until the end. Nancy Drew books like this one always have me tangled up in suspects until they reveal who it is!

4.0 out of 5 stars Okay, original idea, May 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Whispering Statue (Nancy Drew #14) (Hardcover)

Nancy is asked to solve a mystery pertaining to rare books that were stolen. As she progresses on the case she ends up in another mystery about a whispering statue, that won't whistle anymore. She starts to work for a person she has under suspcion and tries to uncover clues without getting caught. Can she solve the mystery?

This one was actually pretty interesting. I liked how Nancy actually worked for who she thought was a suspect. That's some guts she's got there. The whispering stature idea was pretty original, I would have never thought up of one like that. This one was one of her more creative ones. Also I liked that Bess and George were in this one because they always seem to make it more exciting.

I reccomned this book to someone who wants to enjoy a good mystery of Nancy Drew.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb Plot, The Whispering Statue is., August 13, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Whispering Statue (Nancy Drew, Book 14) (Hardcover)

Very good book in the way of how the statue whispers. But does the wind make it whisper, if it's specially designed to talk certain stuff when the wind comes? Because of the holes, probably something like that. I also think this book is nice because of the store that Nancy (Debbie Lynbrook) works in. I like books of all type, and the other stuff seemed interesting. I always go in every bookstore I see. Otherwise, I liked the captures, the criminal gang encounters, and most of that stuff. So if you like 4-star action, think about this book. You'll surely like it.
