Nancy Drew

“Just how did you get in, Miss Drew?”

“I came in at the entrance,” Nancy replied. “The larkspur is beautiful.”  —Carolyn Keene

“Nancy, every place you go, it seems as if mysteries just pile up one after another.”—Carolyn Keene

The famously clever teenage girl detective of River Heights was brought to life in over 175 books by various authors, all writing under the name of Carolyn Keene. She always had her trusty flashlight at hand and spent a lot of time in old houses with secrets to hide. Given the times, she had a remarkable ability to convince law enforcement and grown men in positions of power that her hunch might just be right, and they should take here advice. “Not many girls would have used their wits the way you did,” the officer observed.
