Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy, Secret Admirer
In this second title in the Nancy Clancy chapter-book series (Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth, 2012), Nancy and her friend Bree trade in their trench coats for cupid&#x2019;s arrow. When Nancy discovers&#x2014;which is a fancy way of saying learns&#x2014;that her guitar teacher, Andy, is single and her babysitter, Annie, is too . . . well, it&#x2019;s time for Operation Eternal Love. Nancy and Bree begin to leave little presents (including a week-old rose and a granola bar) for Annie on her doorstep, and each one is signed &#x201C;Your Secret Admirer,&#x201D; using a silver glitter pen. As the pi&#xE8;ce de r&#xE9;sistance (that&#x2019;s piece de ray-zis-taaance), Nancy and Bree stage a meet up for the potential lovebirds at the Sweet Shoppe&#x2014;and it&#x2019;s all scheduled to go down &#x201C;at twilight,&#x201D; or 4:45 p.m. This one is light on the detective side of things, but its pink cover and romance theme will make lots of little girls swoon. As Nancy is fond of saying, &#x201C;Ooh la la.&#x201D; Grades 2-4. --Ann Kelley
