In this month's Mode magazine's "things to do this month", it listed "read a book from your childhood". I thought that would be a fun thing to do so I headed down to the local Barnes & Noble and picked up Madeline L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time". This was the first book in a series of sci-fi books for teens and the lead character was a girl, which was a great example for the pre-teen girl that I was.
Another great girl lead was, of course, Nancy Drew. I figured after I finished the "Wrinkle" series, I would start in on the Nancy Drew series. Well, thanks to NancyDrew.com I can get reaquainted with her online. There are online episodes with periodic updates to keep your attention, like an electronic radio show, and to keep you on the edge of your seat until next time - even though we already know that Nancy and her friends will always save the day. Sometimes it is a hoot to remember what it is like to be a kid again.
