Brilliant! Humorist and pop-culture aficionado Cain has written a spot-on send-up of the Nancy Drew series. At last Nancy Drew-Nickerson, now in the twilight of her years, reveals her true history. That includes her college roommate, one Carolyn Keene, her husband, Ned Nickerson, and the whole gang. Watch Nancy solve new crimes as a grown-up and reminisce about her finest hours as a teen sleuth. A perfect gift for wannabe girl detectives of all ages and a must for Nancy fans.

CONFESSIONS OF A TEEN SLEUTH, by Chelsea Cain (Bloomsbury, 2005)
