Nancy Drew is the title character of the popular book series Nancy Drew Mystery Stories and The Nancy Drew Files. These books were later adapted into a television series in 1977 and a film in 2007. Nancy is no ordinary high school teenager. The daughter of a lawyer and a housekeeper, she spends her freetime solving mysteries with her two close friends, Bess Mavin and George Fayne.

Nancy’s qualities brought her to many places beyond her little town of River Heights. She solved mysteries in places as far as France, Alaska, Costa Rica, Japan, Austria, and Kenya.
