Even worse, Jason Hutchings is looking for the notebook - just to prove how easy it is to be a detective. One thing's for sure: these days, it's not easy being Nancy Drew!

Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are the pseudonyms under which many ghostwriters penned the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, respectively. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet, and syndicate writer Mildred Wirt Benson were the two people primarily responsible for bringing the iconic character of Nancy Drew to life in the minds and hearts of millions of readers around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can Nancy Drew prove herself in the ultimate challenge of her young career?
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2008
Nancy's precious notebook has gone missing, but it's more than just any olde notebook -- it's the one she uses to record the clues that help her crack all the cases!

To make matters worse, Nancy tucked three free movie passes to the film everyone wants to see in that notebook. Now it looks like the whole class is going, except Nancy, Bess and George! Those passes can't be replaced, and neither can her friendships. There's a whole lot riding on finding that valuable notebook, especially now that a pesky boy in class is determined to prove that he's a better detective than our Nancy!

The Best Detective is a fun case for young readers to solve along with their favorite third grade detective.
