Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones Set: When they find out Ned Nickerson has the same backpack as George, and they get them mixed up, the mystery of the lost locket has been solved! Jun 19, Lionel rated it it was ok Shelves: This is a general review of the whole series, not this specific volume.
The Nancy Drew Notebooks were a series of chapter books designed for younger readers, starring a third grade Nancy with her pals Bess and George. Supporting characters Carson Drew and Hannah Gruen are also present.
The Lost Locket (Nancy Drew Notebook #2)
The Notebooks mysteries are typically eight chapters each, about 70 pages. As with the parent series, Nancy does most of the actual sleuthing, and Bess and George provide moral support and act as audience surrogates, asking Nancy questions that prod her towards the correct answers. The mysteries typically revolve around school girl concerns--who took a locket, who erased Nancy's name from the volunteer board, is Hannah leaving for a new job, did Nancy's puppy steal food?
There are a few recurring supporting characters, most notable of whom is rival Brenda Carlson, who is generally an annoyance and leads to frequent mean-spiritedness. The Clue Crew mysteries are better in my opinion for several reasons: Bess and George are promoted to full partners in "the Clue Crew" though Nancy is first among equals ; Bess is given more positive character traits beyond being fashion conscious she likes to build and fix things George remains the athletic one but is also promoted to computer whiz ; Brenda is thankfully removed and is replaced with a more consistent group of classmates some of whom can be annoying but none of whom are as outright nasty as Brenda ; the mysteries are slightly longer pages, 10 chapters , the mysteries are slightly more diverse; and they are in general more positive in tone than the Notebooks series.
I'll note for the record that there's a corresponding set of young Hardy Boys books but we haven't tried any of those yet--Sophie hasn't demonstrated much interest.
Jan 18, Sarah Crawford rated it really liked it. There's a major rift between Bess and George in this story as Bess thinks that George has lost a locket that meant a lot to Bess. Nancy wants to find out what happened but it's hard to do that when her two best friends are feuding Nancy does her usual thing by making a list of suspects who could have taken the locket on purpose.
What happens, though, when no one knows about the locket outside the group and no one sees the locket outside the group? Cute book, got sent by a friend along with a bunch of original Nancy Drew mysteries.
The Lost Locket (Nancy Drew: Notebooks, #2) by Carolyn Keene
The 'Nancy Drew Notebooks' series is kind of like when the Babysitters Club branched out into the 'Little Sister' series - they wrote books which younger siblings could read. I'm keeping this one as I know that I would have loved it at the age of six or seven, so my kids probably will as well. It was only about 80 pages long but well written. Jun 03, Meghan M. I love this book!!
