War of Words Wednesday: Boys versus Girls

by Kelly

I’m a huge Nancy Drew fan. You’ll probably pick up on this eventually - that’s why I was so excited about the Tell Me True question on yesterday.

I owned all of the hardback books as a kid - and my older brother owned all of the hardback books in the Hardy Boys series. I read both and I used to argue with Rob about which was better (Nancy, hands down).

And that’s exactly the question today: it’s War of Words Wednesday! Today’s question is:

Which is the better detective series, the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew?

About Tiny Treasury

It's impossible to get rid of a bad children's book once it has entered your house. In fact, if history teaches us anything, it's that it will become a favorite. Your child will cling to it, sleep with it and worst yet, require you to read it over and over again.

At tinytreasury.com, our mission is separate the good from the bad. If I can save one parent from having to read a rhyming book about dancing pigs, then I'll know I've done my job.
