I enjoy reading books to my students. My favorite are mystery. In turn, I have given this gift of love for mystery literature to my students. However, we do not have a mystery selection at our campus. The Nancy Drew books can help my students think critically. With the new Nancy Drew movie and shows, I hope they can make a connection to the literature. What readers enjoy about a mystery is the intellectual challenge. A mystery often presents a problem, (most specifically a crime or a specific ill against a character or community) at the beginning and then offers clues that the reader can put together in order to hypothesize about a resolution. If it is in the form of a chapter novel, the end of each chapter usually includes a cliff-hanger.
