Was that aimed at me? If so, it was a post about my thoughts about books for myself. I didn't go for Nancy Drew
or The Hardy Boys and I don't like that they are ghost written product. I did read Encyclopedia Brown and The House With A Clock In Its Walls. In the Encyclopedia Brown books, the toughest character (and his bodyguard) was Sally Kimball. She was also supposed to be a match for Encyclopedia, though that wasn't used often enough. Sally wasn't used often enough, which is a shame.
I don't care what others read and didn't argue when my kid read a Nancy Drew book (
Sleepover Sleuths). They just aren't my thing and never were.
