Advocates "unsafe behavior" when Nancy and Bree accept a ride home from a teenage boy.....
By Mom of 2
My daughter has loved all of the Fancy Nancy books and especially the beautiful artwork in her books. Last year at age 6 my daughter began reading chapter books and was thrilled that she could "grow up" with Fancy Nancy and read her first mystery. When she wanted to get "Secret Admirer" from the library I didn't think anything of it.For the most part, she will pick up a chapter book and finish it that night or by the next evening. When I noticed she was not all that interested in this book I decided to sit down and read it with her. Imagine my surprise when I found out the topic was "love" and match making...for a very young audience. If the topic wasn't bad enough for a 7 year old, as I read, Nancy and Bree were cruising around town on their bicycles "secretly" so obviously her parents do not know where they are, and it begins to rain. Nancy's teenage guitar teacher, who they are trying to "fix up" with a teenage girl, happens to drive by and offers Nancy and Bree a ride home in his truck. Nancy and Bree for all purposes are worldly and very intelligent girls...but do not question getting in a vehicle with a teenage boy when their parents have no idea where they are or who they are with.I was so glad I had this teachable moment to speak to my daughter about not going places and especially not accepting rides with out our permission. Jane O'Connor needs to understand she has a very young captive audience and she needs to make the effort to "say and teach" the right thing, such as "I need to call my Mom first"! My daughter will not be reading any further Nancy Clancy books until I have reviewed the content!

By Michelle Kuk
I usually can forgo the fact that children in novels run around town without supervision. However, in this novel Nancy and her friend Bree jump into the truck of Nancy's guitar teacher and accept a ride to get out of the rain. What a horrible example and a shame because my daughter loved the 1st Fancy Nancy chapter book. This again proves parents need to keep track of what their child is reading.

By Christy H
This book is cute, but the first one was much better, and my daughter was a bit disappointed. She loved the "mystery" in the first book. She liked this one, but I had to explain a lot to her. I'm not sure why the author decided to write an entire novel about Nancy trying to "set up" two teenagers that she knows. I agree with another reviewer who wrote that the content is a bit "old" for the 6-10 age crowd.
