"But as a parent, I think we can talk about troubling aspects of vintage books with our kids."

From Tablet Magazine:

If Harry Potter was The Boy Who Lived, Nancy was The Girl Who Dared. She was brave, rash, fierce. She had a snazzy car. She solved crimes that flummoxed the cops, snuck around in old abandoned houses, got locked in closets by bad guys … and she always kept her cool. Her mom had died when she was little, but her dad adored and trusted her and gave her free rein to save others. She was in charge, not her boyfriend, Ned Nickerson. She was beautiful, but she wasn’t an object. She was a doer.

Little did I know Nancy Drew had such a troubled past.

And now I want to get back to my sadly neglected Nancy Drew Re-Reading Project.

I started following you because of the Nancy Drew Re-Reading Project! But I stayed because you were so awesome enough that I completely forgot about the Nancy Drew Re-Reading Project until you mentioned it just now!
