Did You Know?  Nancy Drew books are still popular with girls today and helped shaped the minds of many famous women. It’s notable just how many fans she has in high places. They include former first lady Laura Bush, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Sonia Sotomayor. Nancy Drew had deductive skills and reasoning and logic — she was a very logical person. She also had a lot of determination — no matter how many things got in her way, no matter how any obstacles, no matter how many villains [tried] to get her off the case, she had this great determination to succeed, no matter the odds. Stop by BHT to pick up a Nancy Drew book and keep the mystery alive.
