The Slumber Party Secret (Nancy Drew Notebooks #1)

Rebecca Ramirez is having a slumber party. Her parents allow her only to invite eight guests. The next day she loses her party invitations and some more very important items for the party. Nancy, her friend, was willing to help her, along with Bess and George too. Some sneaky things go on before the party and during it.Usually first books are not as good as the rest of a series, but this one seems to be very good. Actually it is the best one I read so far.

If your daughter likes chapter books and solving puzzles; then this is a great book for her. The characters come to life and have separate personalities. The stories are simple and fun. I finish one and my daughter immediately wants another book. If I get through all the ones I order online then she wants me to re-read them. They have about 8 chapters so I make it last a week with 2 chapters on the last night. I started my daughter out when she was 3, on the old Raggedy Ann and Andy chapter books which are in reprint now. She had a little bit of a hard time going from a book with all pictures to a book where you imagine most of it. The Nancy Drew stories were a little hard to get started on because her complaint was that the pictures (1 or 2 per chapter) are all black and white drawings. I told her that she can look at the cover to see the color picture. Once she heard the first chapter, she didn't care if it had pictures or not. She was hooked. You know I liked these books so well I just bought my daughter's school a set of 10 for their library. They are really good. If you want your child to start early on reading get them started on this series. I hope that one day my daughter will be reading them to me. :o) Enjoy!

This is an excellent childrens book. I read them when I was little. My little cousin Anna just loves them. This is a series that never fails to please the childs mind. It's good for kids who have just started reading short novels.

My daughter is a second grader and I am trying to help her fall in love with reading. This book series is fantastic. I have finally found enjoyable reading at her level that keeps her attention the whole time.

These are really kool stuff. I simply can't stop reading. Please keep writing more & more & more books. Publish them often.
