\"NancyI\u2019ve said many times that Nancy Drew is perfect. But don\u2019t take my word for it. Let\u2019s see how author Carolyn Keene describes her in The Haunted Bridge<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Nancy was an only child, but the fact that she had neither sisters nor brothers had never tended to make her selfish. She was generous to a fault, and probably was the most popular young person in River Heights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Nancy is popular. That means people think that hanging out with her would be delightful. Pleasant. Fun. <\/p>\n

But that\u2019s the perception of the general public. What do the people who truly<\/em> know Nancy think? <\/p>\n

Is she fun on a date? Let\u2019s see what her \u201cspecial friend\u201d Ned Nickerson has to say in The Secret of the Wooden Lady<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened to you, Ned?\u201d Bess asked with concern, looking at his bandaged face.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne hour with Nancy Drew and I’m in combat,\u201d Ned said, grinning. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What\u2019s she like on a girls\u2019 day out? In The Clue in the Crumbling Wall<\/em>, for instance, does she plan fun activities? <\/p>\n

\n\u201cLet\u2019s wear old clothes next time we go to Heath Castle,\u201d she said to Bess and George, as the girls parted company in River Heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd take along snake serum, axes, and lunch,\u201d advised George pointedly. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, surely, she\u2019s a delightful daughter to have around. I mean, our parents have to enjoy our company. Don\u2019t they? Let’s see what Carson Drew says in The Clue in the Crumbling Wall<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\nMr. Drew gazed at his daughter with sudden suspicion. \u201cYoung lady, you\u2019re leading up to something!” He accused her with a twinkle in his eye. \u201cOut with it!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m only trying to arouse your interest Dad,\u201d confessed Nancy with a gay laugh. \u201cWhy not go to the factory with me? You may find a clue I\u2019ve overlooked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd be blown to bits?\u201d asked Mr. Drew. \u201cNo, thank you.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
