About the author
Carolyn Keene
1,042 books3,923 followersCarolyn Keene is a writer pen name that was used by many different people- both men and women- over the years. The company that was the creator of the Nancy Drew series, the Stratemeyer Syndicate, hired a variety of writers. For Nancy Drew, the writers used the pseudonym Carolyn Keene to assure anonymity of the creator.
Edna and Harriet Stratemeyer inherited the company from their father Edward Stratemeyer. Edna contributed 10 plot outlines before passing the reins to her sister Harriet. It was Mildred Benson (aka: Mildred A. Wirt), who breathed such a feisty spirit into Nancy's character. Mildred wrote 23 of the original 30 Nancy Drew Mystery Stories®, including the first three. It was her characterization that helped make Nancy an instant hit. The Stratemeyer Syndicate's devotion to the series over the years under the reins of Harriet Stratemeyer Adams helped to keep the series alive and on store shelves for each succeeding generation of girls and boys. In 1959, Harriet, along with several writers, began a 25-year project to revise the earlier Carolyn Keene novels. The Nancy Drew books were condensed, racial stereotypes were removed, and the language was updated. In a few cases, outdated plots were completely rewritten.
Other writers of Nancy Drew volumes include Harriet herself, she wrote most of the series after Mildred quit writing for the Syndicate and in 1959 began a revision of the first 34 texts. The role of the writer of "Carolyn Keene" passed temporarily to Walter Karig who wrote three novels during the Great Depression. Also contributing to Nancy Drew's prolific existence were Leslie McFarlane, James Duncan Lawrence, Nancy Axelrod, Priscilla Doll, Charles Strong, Alma Sasse, Wilhelmina Rankin, George Waller Jr., and Margaret Scherf.

3.5 stars. This was a better book than the last. This book is about a garden show that is going on and some potentially prize winning roses get stolen. We find out why and its someone doing something wrong but you understand why and alls well that ends well.

Good book
I liked how the author used adverbs to discribe things. That was an amazing book. I encourage you to write more.

I'm kind of sad that I'm nearing the end of this series. It's just so adorable, and I'm going to miss having new ones to read!

Why would anyone think it would be okay to steal flowers from a literal flower competition and justify themselves by saying that they didn’t know it would be a big deal ??????

I have to say that I am really torn apart by my feelings for this book. On one hand, I had a WTH did they do to Nancy Drew??? feeling. However, on the other hand, I am thrilled that a younger audience is being introduced to Nancy. These were easy to read books with "age appropriate" illustrations to welcome young readers. I am just hoping that these younger readers go with the real deal once they get older.
