Review: A good second place to Nancy Drew
Rating: 4 out of 5

Penny is more active, audacious and immature, when compared to Nancy Drew, but I was glad to see so many differences from an author who helped write the more popular Drew series. The megapack is a great bargain, though I wish that 16th book was included.I did find Penny a little obnoxious but, in a way, it was refreshing when comparing her to Nancy (which one can not help but to do) who is practically perfect in all situations.Taken on it's own, the Penny Parker series is wonderful for the 10 to 15 age group in particular. I had to remind myself when reading as an adult, that flaws in Penny's character would seem normal and natural to an audience of similar age and maturity of the heroine.The Megapack kept me entertained for a week of intermittent reading on my Kindle (text to speech) while at work and in the car.
