If I didn't stumble across this, I would never found out that April 28th is Nancy Drew's birthday and that will really be a shame since I grew up reading her books.
I still remember when I was in primary school, my dad would bring me to the public library and that is the place where I first picked up Nancy Drew's books. I loved it so much that I would finish it as soon as possible so that I could borrow another one.
Eventually, I found out that the library also has translated BM version of Nancy Drew series. As the type of quirky girl who loves to read as many version of a book as possible to compare, I borrow the series and I found them quite ok. Those were the first BM books that I laid my hands on and I guess that's how I could manage to write BM essays. All thanks to Nancy Drew!!!
Later when I went to secondary school, I found out that the school library also has some Nancy Drew's books, I figured that I hadn't been reading it for quite some times and I started to read them again. Although I love the series but as I grew older, I put them aside and opted for more gripping series, like Harry Potter and Agatha Christie and lots more fictions.
What do I like about Nancy Drew? She's smart, gorgeous, nice, brave and she has a charming boyfriend, Nate. Her friends are always there for her through good and bad times. Her adventures are not easy and although she had received many treats, been kidnapped, been knocked out so many times but she still has the strength to go on. I really admire her.
Although I had not read her books for a few years already but I will never forget her. I will highly recommend her books to my cousin, my future nephew, niece and who knows, children. She is a part of my childhood memory and she'll always be on my mind.
Thanks for the sweet times you had given me. Happy 78th birthday!!!
