However, Secret Admirer took us much longer to read because the interest just wasn't there.

I have much higher hopes for these. There are plenty of ways to tell a mystery for young readers that is not all caught up in the romance.

However, with all that said, in the end I do enjoy how the book was written and the things that the girls did. Since these books do not truly have to build upon each other in a series... I'd suggest that this one would be find if you had an older, preteen reading it, but would skip it for the youngest section of Fancy Nancy chapter book readers.
