Find out in this neat-o slipcased collection of four novels of spine-tingling suspense!
Customer Review: Great Books!
These books are great! The only one I've read so far is Moonstone Bay and it's great so far! Annette is really smart! Annette is tops Nancy Drew. Wherever Nancy goes people are always amazed and she's this great, famous, world-renowned detective. Annette isn't, and that's what makes her better. She's just an ordinary girl who solves mysteries. Another great thing is that in Moonstone Bay they include horses in it! Annette books are great and I love them! I think that every girl who loves mysteries should read them!
Customer Review: Gee, she's swell!
Four Annette Funicello mysteries("Mystery at Smugglers' Cove", "Sierra Summer", "Mystery at Moonstone Bay" and "The Desert Inn Mystery"), casting the Mouseketeer as a teenage super-snooper. The stories are sub-Nancy Drew-lite, not quite a hearty recommendation but perfect for a nostalgia-crazed baby boomer. The covers(nicely reproduced from the 1960 hardcover originals)may be instantly recognizable to anyone who grew up in this wholesome era, and Annette after all was the quintessential girl-next-door(with the exotic last name and dark looks that set her apart from all the other Mouseketeers). One may end up pondering why there were no Darlene Gillespie mysteries, or Karen & Cubby meet The Wolf Man. I think Annette's innate shyness and likability made her seem approachable to youngsters of the late-'50's, and her all-around sweetness shone through her Mickey Mouse Club routines. She was everyone's kid sister or budding love interest. I'm not sure she was quite the new Nancy Drew, and therefore these books now seem quaint or passe, but it may represent a lost piece of childhood to many, many people.
