A note for parents

This is the first Nancy Drew mystery, a classic that has entertained generations of middle-grade readers. The plot centers on solving a mystery rather than action or thrills, and the story emphasizes Nancy's intelligence, courage, and helpfulness. While there are minor perilous moments and mild suspense typical of the series, the content is generally wholesome and age-appropriate for the target audience.
