I don't remember a particular series, but I do remember a new librarian look down her nose at me when I checked out the maximum number of books, most of them for adults. In two weeks, when my Mom took my sister and I back to the library, the librarian didn't believe I had actually read all of them!Stephanie Suesan Smith, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06258700735299993683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-34511522780114147842021-10-16T06:14:46.615-05:002021-10-16T06:14:46.615-05:00I loved Nancy Drew and the Hardys, too, but Trixie...I loved Nancy Drew and the Hardys, too, but Trixie Belden was my girl.

When I was in the fourth grade, I was fortunate enough to have a great teacher. For Christmas, she gave each student a gift she'd chosen specifically for that person. For me, she gave me an Earl Stanley Gardner mystery. My mother was not a reader then, but my dad was. When my mother looked through the book, she saw the word "damn". She was incensed that a teacher would give a little girl an adult book that contained a curse word. My dad laughed and said he'd read it first to see if it was all right. Of course, he read it quickly and gave it to me. From then on, I was hooked on adult mysteries, especially Erle Stanley Gardner and Agatha Christie. I have to say that in later years, my mother did become a reader.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
