I discovered the world of "River Heights" when I was about 14 years old - that was when sets of the books were flying off of the shelves at Sams Club and Costco.      I was an avid reader, a self-professed tomboy, and therefore the harrowing adventures that Nancy always found herself in vastly appealed to my independent nature.      But as an older, "more mature" adult now, (whoo, 21, that's getting up there!) I have a much deeper appreciation …

Readers are introduced to an inquisitive, adventurous girl with which any inquisitive, armchair adventuress can identify.      The series liberates the minds of girls especially who are ready to break out of the stereotypes they have been taught so fare.      Solving puzzles, even those in the most obscure settings, comes naturally to the inquisitive, so Nancy Drew fits right into the imagination.      By today's standards, Nancy and …

If you like this genre, try Trixie Belden. She's easier to relate to, and the books are full of recurring characters with personalities you will fall in love with. (Basically more character-driven, but still with the fun mystery plots.)

Another childhood memory. I even read my mothers copies from her childhood. They are dated, but fun
