Adults will cry, for kids it's just ok

Compared with the other Nancy Clancy books, adults will love this one. The ending will bring a tear to your eyes when you read it to your kids. But, unlike the other Nancy Clancy books, my daughter did not want me to read it to her over and over. She liked this fourth book ok, but the earlier three were her favorite books for a while, after first reading them. It is good for kids to think about past and present and how adults were once kids, just like them. And, the fancy words, as always, will increase their vocabularies. But, if your child has never read a Nancy Clancy book before, start with one of the others.

Nancy is Back Again!

My Review: Nancy Clancy was excited to be attending the estate sale. As estates were like mansions full of big and fancy furniture for sale. Nancy was looking for a desk to do her homework on. She came across a small wooden desk with a top that rolled up and down. In one of the drawers, she came across a silver key. A key to a secret compartment, when opened she found anther key. Now Nancy and her friend Bree must find out who the key belongs to and what it opens. This book is full of fun and will appeal to young girls.

I was wrong she loved the story and already has me getting more of ...

I thought this might be too old for my 6 year old daughter, however, she really wanted to read it. I was wrong she loved the story and already has me getting more of these books.

This particular story was about Nancy and her best friend Bree they wanted to find the owner of the key that was hidden in a secret compartment of her "new" desk. They want to find the owner so they can find out what the key opens. A very cute detective book for little ones that quickly turns into a very heart warming story in the end.

I think I could have done without Nancy and Bree discluding another little girl and being a bit more friendly. However, overall this is a very cute read that my daughter and I loved reading together!
