Now that I'm older and rereading this as an adult, I kept asking myself why Nancy and Bess weren't in college. I know that they don't attend college even though I am certain they've all graduated from high school already. Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter.

This one is still one of my favorite Nancy Drew mysteries of all time from the original cover to the case centered around teddy bears, which as a child is why I picked it up originally. It's also one of the stories that make it a little harder to guess who did it. This is my umpteenth time reading it and even though I know who did it, the writer of this particular book didn't set it up in a way that allows you to know who did it right away.

And of course, any story where Ned and Nancy are together, solving cases together for a majority of it is my favorite. I'll always love them together.
