  <description><![CDATA[The authors of <em>Growing Up with Dick and Jane</em> do themselves one better in this beautifully packaged and exhaustively researched volume. While <em>Dick and Jane</em> is loads of fun, it is a bit light on text; this book tells you everything you wanted to know about your favorite white-bread detectives. The story of their creation in the mind of Edward Stratemeyer, the way they were fleshed out by his stable of writers, and their transformation in the light of a changing America are all told, with tons of asides on their influences, effects, and environment. Kismaric and Heiferman use the teen detectives as a lens through which to view the invention of adolescence in the 20th century, but they never become dry or pedantic. The lushly illustrated, large-format book is as beautiful to hold and look at as it is engaging to read. <em>--James DiGiovanna</em> ]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a delightful, informative book that takes a look at the phenomenon of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew novels which have entertained kids (and adults) for decades.  Having been a fan of the Hardy's and Nancy myself, I enjoyed this book.  I also liked the clever, colorful layout of the pages.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The authors of <em>Growing Up with Dick and Jane</em> do themselves one better in this beautifully packaged and exhaustively researched volume. While <em>Dick and Jane</em> is loads of fun, it is a bit light on text; this book tells you everything you wanted to know about your favorite white-bread detectives. The story of their creation in the mind of Edward Stratemeyer, the way they were fleshed out by his stable of writers, and their transformation in the light of a changing America are all told, with tons of asides on their influences, effects, and environment. Kismaric and Heiferman use the teen detectives as a lens through which to view the invention of adolescence in the 20th century, but they never become dry or pedantic. The lushly illustrated, large-format book is as beautiful to hold and look at as it is engaging to read. <em>--James DiGiovanna</em> ]]>

    <![CDATA[The authors of <em>Growing Up with Dick and Jane</em> do themselves one better in this beautifully packaged and exhaustively researched volume. While <em>Dick and Jane</em> is loads of fun, it is a bit light on text; this book tells you everything you wanted to know about your favorite white-bread detectives. The story of their creation in the mind of Edward Stratemeyer, the way they were fleshed out by his stable of writers, and their transformation in the light of a changing America are all told, with tons of asides on their influences, effects, and environment. Kismaric and Heiferman use the teen detectives as a lens through which to view the invention of adolescence in the 20th century, but they never become dry or pedantic. The lushly illustrated, large-format book is as beautiful to hold and look at as it is engaging to read. <em>--James DiGiovanna</em> ]]>
