Nancy Among Best

Nancy Among Best ... Believe it. Nancy is among the best fictional role models for girls according to A Paperback Writer. Yes ... Nancy and Miss Marple both make the list because

"One is constantly told she's too young, and the other that she's too old, but both always find the thief or the murderer and prove the nay-sayers wrong. Intelligence, activity, resourcefulness, and self-reliance are all messages underscored here."

So there you have it. But surely you want to read more ...

WWND

WWND?: How often have you been confronted by a situation and wondered ... what would Nancy do? Yeah ... you have ... right? Well it seems that there are several books to help sort this out for you.

Nancy Drew's Guide to Life, for example, advises "if the ceiling collapses, breathe through a handkerchief to avoid inhaling dust". Good thinking there ... as long as the ceiling didn't fall on you and knock you out.

Then there is The Official Nancy Drew Handbook: Skills, Tips, and Life Lessons from Everyone's Favorite Girl Detective which apparently will "teach you how to live the Nancy life, with tips on fashion and beauty, romance, relationships, survival, sleuthing, and success". The Nancy life? I like the sound of that.

And finally there is The Wisdom of Nancy Drew: The Nancy Drew Guide to Solving Life's Little Mysteries which has "got the answer to every predicament in which a young lady could find herself".

Well? Why not do it? Be the Nancy.
