Book Description
Written as an homage to the Nancy Drew books, this humorous and PG-rated mystery about teenage sleuth, Nancy Keene, especially targets women baby boomers who grew up reading and loving the series. Gently poking fun at Nancy’s obscure knowledge, perfectionism, and need for control, this book concentrates and the relationship between Nancy and her father. Nancy has just turned 18, is in a serious relationship with her boyfriend, and is planning to move out of state to college. How will her father handle letting her go? Find out as Nancy, her father, and her boyfriend take a trip on Route 66, visiting several of its landmarks along the way, in search of a missing will. Not only is “The Buried Treasure on Route 66” a tip of the hat to the Nancy Drew books, it’s also a romance novel about both young love and rekindled old love. Reviews: "I could not get enough of this amazing story." "Besides being a sort of travelogue, the mystery is good, the solving of it fun, and the ending hilarious!" "I'd recommend this Nancy Keene series to anyone who read, reads, and loves Nancy Drew!" "I grew up reading every Nancy Drew book I could get my hands on. The author does not disappoint in paying homage as Nancy made me fall in love with teenage mysteries all over again." "Truly a nice escape for women baby boomers everywhere."

Book Description
Join precocious teenage sleuth, Nancy Keene, on another of her international adventures. This book finds her in Amsterdam visiting her newly-found Dutch relatives who have recently discovered a secret room in their house that contains valuable artwork, including a Vermeer masterpiece worth millions. Someone has stolen it, and it’s up to Nancy and her team to find out who. If you enjoy travelogues, this book includes descriptions of some of the writer's favorite sights in Holland. Here is a great reader review for this book on Goodreads and in The Sleuth: The Original Nancy Drew Fanzine: "The Stolen Masterpiece is book #5 of the Nancy Keene mystery series, a parody of Nancy Drew. It was by far my favorite story and most like Nancy Drew. Nancy has delved into ancestry.com, after finding letters written by her great grandfather to family in Amsterdam and has discovered family living there: Dominique and his family- parents Hans and Veronique and sister Nortje. This is her mother’s family. When Mr. Keene has to travel to Amsterdam on business Nancy, Beth, and Hannah, who are on spring break, accompany him. We are treated to some history and descriptions of scenery. Nancy also knows quite a bit about famous paintings, especially by Vermeer and Van Gogh. At the art museum they meet Sophie, the curator, who seems interested in Mr. Keene. Nancy promotes the attraction between the two until they become mutually interested and then seems jealous. Dominique, a cute guy her age, shows Nancy into a secret room they recently found that is full of old paintings. They have deduced that the Jewish people who lived in their house in the World War II era hid them away before being taken off to a concentration camp. His family has tried to trace the family but they were all killed in the war. Nancy is sure that one of them is an unsigned Vermeer. Before they can do anything about it, the house is broken into and the painting stolen! Who knew about the secret room? The carpenters who fixed it when a wall was ruined with water? One guy at school who Dominique told? The kids set up a “sting” to trap the thief but before they execute it Nancy figures out who the thief is and recovers the painting. The Vermeer is donated to an art museum; the other paintings that are also worth much money will be sold and Hans and his family will make many euros. At the book’s end Nancy and her chums appear on a TV show to promote genealogy."

Book Description
This humorous time-travel fantasy is about two sisters who are magically transported back to the 1968 Newport Pop Festival in Costa Mesa, California—an outdoor concert later described as “Orange County’s Woodstock”. Both sisters had attended the festival when they were teenagers. In this book, Amy morphs into her 13-year-old self, wearing a mini-skirt and go-go boots; and her sister Denise turns into her pregnant 18-year-old self, wearing a homemade maternity blouse trimmed with peace symbols that she has fashioned out of red rickrack. Once again, they hear bands such as The Bryds, The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, and Steppenwolf. They hitch-hike back to their childhood home, see and talk to relatives who died years ago, and even run into younger versions of their husbands. Despite all the fun they are having, they are plagued with the question, “How are we going to get back to 2018?” Flash back to the 60s and find out why this story has earned Five Star and Four Star Reviews. Here's what reviewers are saying about this book: "Excellently written this story is an outstanding tale of the 1960’s with such descriptive detail I felt as though I was really there and living it all through the sisters’ eyes. From the festival, the stores, the cars, the house it’s all there. So amazing. Step into the photo booth take a flashback and relive 1968 once again." "Great read, especially if were a "child" of the 60's era." "Fun in the summertime. If you are of a certain age this book will have you smiling all day long."
