Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys

["Picone's" <rpicone@GARDEN.NET>]

All it takes it one reader for these sets to take off.  I have "Student
Reviewers" and every once in a while when particular books could use a
boost that I KNOW kids will like, I get a few children to volunteer to do a
review and booktalk.  (There are incentive rewards so I am never short on
volunteers).  Nancy actually got some circulation last year as a result of
two girls who REALLY liked them and talked about them as old-fashioned
mysteries.
I've used this ploy with the Little House series, and with Anne of Green
Gables.  Usually works best with high third and fourth grade readers.
