Excerpt from Book

What Is the Story of Nancy Drew? On a dark, rainy night, Nancy Drew sneaked out after bedtime to investigate an old stone house next door. Nancy was no stranger to danger. She was brave and followed her instincts. When she investigated a mystery, she never gave up untilthe case was solved. As she explored inside the old house, she realized she was not alone. A maid was searching the house, certain that she had heard a noise. Nancy rushed to hide. She barely escaped getting caught. But she found herself locked in a room with no way out. "Now I am in a mess!" she said. In the back of the closet, she felt a tiny knob and gave it a twist. Click! With a push, the wall opened, and Nancy suddenly fell down a flight of stairs, into the dark. Nancy was shaken. She turned on her flashlight and saw a narrow passageway. She didn''t know where it led, but it was her only escape. Nancy Drew isn''t a real person. This curious and independent teenage detective is a character in a series of books written by Carolyn Keene.

He filled his shelves with books about poor boys who became wealthy heroes through hard work and bravery. He also read books about boys who traveled the world, fought in wars, explored the American West, and sailed the seas. Besides reading, Edward also liked to write his own adventure stories and even published a newspaper as a teenager. Edward''s father didn''t think writing would be a good job for his son. So Edward worked as a clerk in his brother''s shop. He still wrote, though. In the late 1800s, many children read stories in story papers and magazines that came out weekly and monthly. Hoping they would be published, Edward sent them his stories. When he was in his twenties, he sold a story called "Victor Horton''s Idea" to Golden Days magazine and made seventy-
