Book Review:<br />
Nancy Drew Series<br />
Book review written by Maddie M.<br />
Book series written by Carolyn Keene<br />
I love this series by Carolyn Keene! It is about a teenage<br />
girl, Nancy Drew, who solves mysteries. This series is for<br />
people who like to solve things . . . like me!<br />
One of the most recent Nancy<br />
Drew books I have read is False<br />
Pretenses, number #88 in the<br />
series. In False Pretenses, Nancy's<br />
dad's co-worker is – oh no! –<br />
murdered. So, being the Nancy<br />
Drew that she is, she has to find<br />
out who the murderer<br />
is. However, anyone could be the<br />
victim, which only makes Nancy's job harder. With her<br />
super-cool and mighty detective skills, will she be able to<br />
find the murderer?<br />
You'll just have to check the book out yourself if you want<br />
to find out what happens!<br />
But trust me; the Nancy Drew book series is awesome! I<br />
hope you love it as much as I do! 6<br />
Poem:<br />
O Christian! Look Around You!<br />
Written by Emily K.<br />
O Christian! Look around you!<br />
Lift up your eyes and see<br />
A soul, a world descending<br />
Down to eternal agony!<br />
O Neighbor! See the heavy laden<br />
Who live across the road;<br />
Veiled in vanity, they sink<br />
Beneath an unbearable load!<br />
O Brother! Don't you realize?<br />
Your sister, in bondage and despair<br />
Reels to and fro, seeking freedom<br />
From a debt she can never repair!<br />
O Christian! Reach the dying,<br />
Lift their loads, give them light;<br />
Tell of Christ the Crucified<br />
Who came to give them sight! 6<br />
