The circus is coming to River Heights! The flyers claim this circus will be the biggest and best show around, with the funniest clowns, the cutest animals, and the most daring acrobats.

She's not sure, but one thing is certain -- what Nancy and the Clue Crew discover proves that the circus really is the greatest show on Earth!

    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 Great Chapter Books for your Young Reader!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2015

We are always looking for chapter books for our daughter (age 7). She has always been an excellent reader reading well above her age group and gets through books quickly. That is great, but challenging when trying to keep up with her and looking for good chapter books for her age. We focus primarily on positive stories and avoid series with less appropriate language or attitudes.

The Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew series has been great. It is a fun reboot of the old Nancy Drew stories brought into the present day with more up-to-date stories and technology. They have fun little mysteries focused on younger kids. My daughter has been going through these like water. They keep her interest and really entertain her. The nice thing is that this series has a lot of books available already (40 at the time of this review and more coming) and several collections of multiple books sold at a discount. We always run out of books, so a big series like this is great. Highly Recommended!

We are always looking for more chapter books for girls in this age group so here is a list of what we have enjoyed that focus on positive stories in case you are looking for a new series to try:
1) Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew (Mysteries)
2) The Puppy Place (For your Pet Lovers)
3) Anna & Elsa (Frozen Series)
4) Never Girls (Disney Fairies Series)
5) Whatever After (Princess Series)
6) Tales From Pixie Hollow (Older Disney Fairies Series)
7) Rainbow Magic (Fairy Series for Younger Readers)
8) National Geographic Readers (Non-Fiction, not really a Chapter book but a great way to break into non-fiction)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Circus Caper
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2015

My seven year old daughter got hooked on Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew when she received a box set that included the first five books in the series;  The Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew Collection: Sleepover Sleuths; Scream for Ice Cream; Pony Problems; The Cinderella Ballet Mystery; Case of the Sneaky Snowman . Being a huge fan of the original Nancy Drew series, I was thrilled to see that Nancy had been reinvented as a third grader, with her best buds, Bess and George. In this story, Nancy, Bess, and George are excited because the circus has come to town. But when they discover that several of the performers are missing props; clown noses, camel rider headdresses, and others, the Clue Crew springs into action to uncover the identity of the thief.

The book is well written and includes several nicely illustrated pictures. The recommended age range is 6-9; Grades 1-4. My daughter is in Second Grade and is able to independently read this books (I should probably mention that she currently reads at a 4th Grade level.) When she first received the box set for her 7th birthday last summer, my husband and I would take turns reading the books with her. Now that she is in Second Grade she is able to read them independently. As a parent, I highly recommend the Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew books; they are interesting, thought provoking, entertaining, and are age appropriate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #7 "The Circus Scare"
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2011
Verified Purchase
Great Series!! I purchased Books 1-8, for an 8-year old...she absolutely loves them. She enjoys reading, and since she is required to read 30-minutes every night for school, the chapter books come in very handy. She often finds herself reading more than 30-minutes, because she wants to finish a certain chapter, etc. The stories are great, fun, interesting, the illustrations are okay. She looks forward to following the main characters throughout the different series. Also worth mentioning, is the "activity" page within the books; they are projects that can be done later if interested, and if you enjoy doing some craft with your little ones every once in a while, it's a nice addition (sometimes she wants to do them...thankfully not always). Highly recommend the books, and will definitely be purchasing additional series.  The Circus Scare (Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew #7)

I read the original Nancy Drew books as a child. This allows my 6 year old to also get into something I enjoyed so much as a child. She loves these books so much that I catch her reading ahead to find what happens next. A great alternative to screen time.

My daughter loves the Nancy Drew series and the fact that they're eligible for AR points. I liked that I could buy the series for the Kindle and it automatically figured out which we owned, so I didn't re purchase those. Just wish it loaded them in order.
