If you prefer to browse the bookshelves for your Nancy Drew books, then check out your local High-Street and independent booksellers. They are bound to have a bountiful collection. The books are aimed at readers aged eight to thirteen, so specialist children’s book shops are a good place to look.

Bargain hunting

Everybody loves a bargain and cheap books are easy to find. Charity shops and second-hand book stores usually have an endless supply of donations coming in every day.
