Nancy Drew is a favorite character of our family. She even helped us get our new house. I told that story a ways back but because of Nancy Drew and specifically the Nancy Drew app for iPad turned Eva on to the character and now she simple loves it. Recently Allison bought the first 6 classic Nancy Drew books. So we read the books to Eva, she knows the character and now we have a new game that we can play together. The game is Nancy Drew: Tomb of the Lost Queen, and it is a computer game. We got a copy of it for the MAC and have not had a chance to play it yet. We will be doing that very soon. I do have a press release all about the game and it sounds like a lot of fun. We’ll do a full review once we play it together.
