The first Nancy Drew novel was introduced in 1930 with the heroine a female counterpart to the Hardy Boys series by the same publisher. The series hatched 175 novels and lasted until 2003. Now, the Nancy Drew Diaries, a fresh approach to the classic Nancy Drew novels, is enthralling a new generation of readers with the smart and intuitive Nancy and her friends solving modern-day mysteries.
In a similar vein, the Hardy Boys books, written by Franklin W. Dixon, endures through a fresh take on brothers Frank and Joe. These are sharp and observant and tech-savvy teenagers, that are top amateur sleuths, solving cases that have evaded adult crime investigators. These books have been written by several ghost writers over the decades, keeping the thrill and intrigue alive as young readers also try to work out whodunnit.
These classic series are part of our extensive catalogue of books for 10-12 year olds.
