The girl you know as "Fancy Nancy" is growing up and moving on to bigger adventures in her first chapter novel. Nancy has decided to become a detective, just like her favorite crime solving fictional character Nancy Drew. But, it turns out she isn't the only one looking for a crime to solve, her best friend Bree has become a detective too! Together, with their matching trench coats, spy glass, disguise gear, and what they've learned from Nancy Drew novels, they are an unstoppable team! Or, at least they would be if the could find any crimes to solve. They sneak, spy, and snoop, but no mysteries are to be found.
Finally, one day Nancy and Bree overhear the twins, Wanda and Rhonda arguing over something that has to do with Nancy, but what? Nancy and Bree are thrilled to have at least something of a mystery to investigate. But all too soon this mystery is shadowed by and even bigger mystery: On Family Day everyone brought a special memento to share with the group, but the next day their teacher's special blue marble he brought to share is missing. All signs point to thief, and Nancy and Bree are on the case!
This is a more grown up version of "Fancy Nancy" young readers will love. She's spunky, fun, and still fancy as ever. This is a perfect book for readers who are transitioning to chapter books... whether you read chapter books or have them read to you!
