The Nancys – Book Review
@antipodeanbookclub Tippy Chan is 11 years old and living in small town New Zealand with her Mum. She’s inherited a love of Nancy Drew from her Uncle Pike who escaped from Riverstone to Sydney as soon as he could leave home. When Tippy’s Mum goes on a cruise, Uncle Pike and his partner Devon come and look after Tippy, bringing laughter, colour and sparkle into Tippy’s life at a time when she’s coming to terms with losing her Dad. They form The Nancys when Tippy’s teacher is found murdered next to Riverstone’s only traffic light. This is a delightful, entertaining story told through Tippy’s voice about loss, forgiveness and building your own family. As you can tell, I can completely relate to Tippy and Uncle Pike’s love of Nancy Drew!
