The Nancy Drew Girl Detective series was written for tween detective readers ages 8-12 (grades 3-7). Released in paperback and eBook, this series focuses on Nancy in modern day as a young teenager. The tone of the writing is Nancy speaking first person directly to you, the reader.
The first books (1-29) featured a modern cover design with a close up of Nancy’s face from the 1950s revised yellow book edition of The Secret of the Old Clock, but later book releases (30 to 47) feature a female model representing Nancy in different stylized scenes.
