Missing Millie Benson: The Secret Case of the Nancy Drew Ghostwriter and Journalist

123 pp. | Ohio | October, 2015 | Paper ISBN 978-0-8214-2184-0 $14.95
(3) YA Biographies for Young Readers series. Mildred "Millie" Benson wrote twenty-three of the first thirty original Nancy Drew titles, and Rubini tells Millie's compelling life story in an eminently readable and well-organized biography. If ending every chapter with a cliffhanger sometimes feels forced, it certainly keeps readers turning pages. This book's true audience is children's literature history aficionados and nostalgic adult Nancy Drew fans. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos.
