1-3Nancy Drew Clue Book series.
Illustrated by
Peter Francis.
Eight-year-old Nancy and sidekicks Beth and George cut their sleuthing teeth on mild mysteries involving a prankster (Pool Party) and a lost secret recipe (Lemonade). An insert page asks readers to participate by completing a "Clue Book" worksheet. Each chapter includes one or two spot illustrations; unfortunately, Lemonade contains an incongruous drawing seemingly intended for Pool Party. Review covers these Nancy Drew Clue Book titles: Last Lemonade Standing and The Pool Party Puzzler.
