      I liked that the author did not reveal the answer to the mystery until the end also I liked that the author included the character's feelings
    • 5/5
      As a life-long Nancy Drew reader (I’m 53), I was happy when they modernized Nancy and her pals to appeal to a modern generation. And now, they’re broadening their audience even more with stories for a younger audience.Eight-year-old Nancy Drew and her best friends Bess and George are invited to a fun doll-themed sleepover. But when one of the dolls goes missing, it’s up to our favorite detective to search for clues and solve the mystery.What I liked: such a cute, fun read! It was fun to see their respective personalities already apparent in their eight-year-old selves. The mystery was perfect for the age level and even had some plot twists.What I didn’t like: not much. I did think it odd that George would have a doll being quite the tomboy, but it fit into the story, and with the American Girl Doll craze, I think it made sense.5 out of 5 stars

    Sleepover Sleuths - Carolyn Keene

    CHAPTER ONE

    Guess What?

    Wow, Nancy, George Fayne said as she raced down the school steps. I don’t know how you do it.

    Do what? eight-year-old Nancy Drew asked.

    As if you didn’t know! Bess Marvin giggled. She tossed her blond hair as she held her books in both arms. You guessed the lunch in the school cafeteria again!

    Oh, that! Nancy said with a smile.

    It was Friday afternoon and Nancy, Bess, and George were leaving River Heights Elementary School. Bess and George were Nancy’s two best friends. They were also cousins. The three girls were all in the same third grade class. They had been friends since kindergarten.

    It was easy to guess, Nancy explained. The halls smelled fishy today, so that meant we were having fish sticks. And Mrs. Nicholson the lunch lady makes potato salad every three weeks.

    What are we having on Monday? George quizzed.

    Macaroni and cheese, Nancy replied. I saw the boxes behind the counter today.

    Yummy! Bess said. But I don’t want to think about Monday yet.

    She glanced at her favorite blue watch. It told the time all over the world. Bess loved all sorts of gadgets. She also loved to build her own.

    It’s exactly one minute after three o’clock in the United States, Bess reported. Which means the weekend has just begun!

    Nancy brushed some reddish-blond hair out of her eyes. What are you guys doing this weekend? she asked.

    I’m building a butterfly mobile to hang over my bed, Bess said, her blue eyes flashing.

    There’s a neat new game I want to check out on the computer, George said. It’s called ‘Space Cadets from Planet Weirdo’!

    My cousin, the computer geek! Bess joked.

    And proud of it! George declared. What are you doing this weekend, Nancy?

    Maybe I’ll give Chocolate Chip a bath, Nancy said. That naughty puppy rolled around in something stinky yesterday—

    Nancy, Bess, George! a voice interrupted her.

    Nancy and her friends spun around. Deirdre Shannon and her best friend Madison Foley were running across the schoolyard toward them.

    Deirdre was in Mrs. Ramirez’s class with Nancy, Bess, and George. She was nice, even though Nancy thought she was a bit spoiled. Her mom and dad gave her lots of things. She even had her own Web site, called Dishing with Deirdre. Deirdre wrote about everything on her Web site—from her dance recitals to her dentist appointments!

    Hi, Deirdre, Nancy said. What’s up?

    Deirdre and Madison stopped when they reached the girls. Deirdre tilted her head a little and asked, Do any of you have a City Girls doll?

    Nancy, Bess, and George traded smiles.

    The City Girls were the most awesome dolls ever! Each one came with cool clothes and accessories. And they were each named after a city in the United States.

    I have Chicago Cheryl, Nancy said. The doll with the purple coat and matching hat. Purple is my favorite color.

    Madison nodded at Nancy’s purple jacket and sneakers. As if we didn’t know! she said with a grin.

    I have Oklahoma City Olivia, George added. She wears the neatest denim outfit and cowboy boots!

    Honolulu Haley is my City Girl, Bess piped in. "She came with her
