Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth / Jane O'Connor / 124 pages

"It was awfully difficult to be a glamorous detective when your bed-time was 8:30," but Nancy Clancy solves two mysteries in this clever first book in a new series.  Nancy idolizes Nancy Drew and her detective skills and frequent references are made to the legendary girl detective.  This book is a great vocabulary builder with delightful illustrations and universal themes, i.e., the importance of integrity, friendship, etc.
