I have just finished and was inspired to review immediately, <b>Melanie Rehak's</b> excellent, thorough, 2005 essay about the creators of <i>Franklin W. Dixon</i> and <i>Laura Lee Hope</i>, emphasizing <i>Carolyn Keene</i>. Since you loved the American historical background of <i>Phyllis A. Whitney's "Step To The Music"</i>: this is a must. I would love to discuss it with you thereafter. Fun fact:, my reviewing and editing technique is to never exceed 300 so my piece doesn't tell you much but I believe you will enjoy it. This was a time when it was tempting to elaborate longer!<br /><br />It clarifies that it's an in-depth essay about the times these authors lived in, affecting these series' unusual success and longevity. At first glance, "<b>Girl Sleuth</b>" looks like a trivia book, which a detail person like me would enjoy but it really is much more, for people with patience through the social change backgrounds. As for <i>Phyllis'</i> civil war romance, both genres had be reading solely out of loyalty but I too, enjoyed it beyond expectations and gave it 4 stars as you did. I love that she dedicated it to her daughter, Georgia. <b>Carolyn</b>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-49087298403876559562015-11-10T20:09:29.683-05:002015-11-10T20:09:29.683-05:00Love the Bobbsey Twins.
