Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 12/15/2012 In this second title in the Nancy Clancy chapter-book series (Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth, 2012), Nancy and her friend Bree trade in their trench coats for cupid’s arrow. When Nancy discovers—which is a fancy way of saying learns—that her guitar teacher, Andy, is single and her babysitter, Annie, is too . . . well, it’s time for Operation Eternal Love. Nancy and Bree begin to leave little presents (including a week-old rose and a granola bar) for Annie on her doorstep, and each one is signed “Your Secret Admirer,” using a silver glitter pen. As the pièce de résistance (that’s piece de ray-zis-taaance), Nancy and Bree stage a meet up for the potential lovebirds at the Sweet Shoppe—and it’s all scheduled to go down “at twilight,” or 4:45 p.m. This one is light on the detective side of things, but its pink cover and romance theme will make lots of little girls swoon. As Nancy is fond of saying, “Ooh la la.” - Copyright 2012 Booklist. Loading...
