We've updated our website First Clues: Mysteries for Kids by adding new Nancy Drew titles that have already been announced by the publisher through May 2009. We've also added links to all titles in the Nancy Drew: All New Girl Detective and Nancy Drew: The Clue Crew series available to purchase from Amazon.com.
The third and final mystery in the Nancy Drew "Perfect Trilogy", The Perfect Escape, was published earlier this month. (It is the 32nd book in the All New Girl Detective series.) This time, Nancy Drew may be in way over her head. What started out as a simple undercover mission at a beauty pageant in New York City has turned into complete chaos! The pageant's sponsor, Pretty Face Cosmetics, knows that she's uncovered a big secret about their product, and now she's in serious trouble. They want to keep her quiet -- no matter what it takes.
She's being held hostage but knows that Bess and George are doing everything they can to find her. But time is running out. She has to figure out a way to get back to that pageant so she can reveal Pretty Face's secret ... before it's too late for the next Miss Pretty Face, and millions of other girls!
The first two books in the trilogy are Pageant Perfect Crime (published June 2008) and Perfect Cover (published July 2008).
The Nancy Drew All New Girl Detective mysteries are recommended for young sleuths aged 12 and older.
New early next month is the 17th mystery in the Nancy Drew Clue Crew series, Wedding Day Disaster. Nancy's cousin is getting married, and Nancy is the flower girl. She can't wait to see the butter crème de le crème wedding cake! Bess and George have the special job of rolling out the cake. But a wedding day disaster strikes when Bess and George bring out the cake and Nancy notices that a slice is missing. Who would want to ruin it?
The crew begins to wonder if the culprit is Kendall, the bride's neighbor. But when the clues point to another guest, Nancy is worried. Will this culprit get to have his cake and eat it too?
The Nancy Drew Clue Crew mysteries are early chapter books featuring an 8-year-old Nancy Drew and are written for an appropriately younger audience aged 7 to 10.
