and maybe even far away.
Growing up, I was a reader. It turned out I needed glasses pretty badly, and no one realized it. No big loss, I guess. But I had a LOT of friends in my books.
Now, most of you have probably read a Nancy Drew book. In fact, I believe there is now a movie of one of those. I have to confess I never did; they didn't seem "real" to me.
But there is another series starring "Trixie Belden." These are similar to the Nancy Drew books, in that mysteries are solved, but they are generally mysteries that have some possibility of being real. You can find them on e-bay. They were written by three different authors over a span of almost 40 years. Get the first one, and see if you don't fall in love with the characters!
