About the Author

Jane O’Connor was born and raised in the fabulous metropolis of New York City. That’s where she still lives with her husband, Jim, although both their grown sons did something unfathomable (that means impossible to understand). They moved to the West Coast! Besides writing the Fancy Nancy series and other books for children, Jane spent her whole career as an editor at major publishing houses. Recently retired, she finds herself with something she never had before—free time to do whatever she pleases.

Robin Preiss Glasser has illustrated many acclaimed picture books, including the bestselling Fancy Nancy series, Lambslide, Escape Goat, and Grand Jeté and Me: A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids. She won the Children’s Choice Award for Best Illustrator of the Year for Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet. Robin actually wore tiaras and tutus when she danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet. Now she happily spends her days in jeans, drawing. Robin and her family live in Southern California.

Editorial Reviews

Following in the footsteps of her beloved Nancy Drew, Fancy Nancy attires herself in a style-setting pink trench coat and sunglasses and sets off with her partner in crime-fighting Bree to solve a batch of unsolved mysteries. Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth contains a fetching mix of whimsy, Fancy Nancy earnestness, and pleasing brain-teasing puzzles. A failsafe chapter book choice for clue-hunting girls and boys alike.
