About the author
Carolyn Keene
1,076 books3,953 followersCarolyn Keene is a writer pen name that was used by many different people- both men and women- over the years. The company that was the creator of the Nancy Drew series, the Stratemeyer Syndicate, hired a variety of writers. For Nancy Drew, the writers used the pseudonym Carolyn Keene to assure anonymity of the creator.
Edna and Harriet Stratemeyer inherited the company from their father Edward Stratemeyer. Edna contributed 10 plot outlines before passing the reins to her sister Harriet. It was Mildred Benson (aka: Mildred A. Wirt), who breathed such a feisty spirit into Nancy's character. Mildred wrote 23 of the original 30 Nancy Drew Mystery Stories®, including the first three. It was her characterization that helped make Nancy an instant hit. The Stratemeyer Syndicate's devotion to the series over the years under the reins of Harriet Stratemeyer Adams helped to keep the series alive and on store shelves for each succeeding generation of girls and boys. In 1959, Harriet, along with several writers, began a 25-year project to revise the earlier Carolyn Keene novels. The Nancy Drew books were condensed, racial stereotypes were removed, and the language was updated. In a few cases, outdated plots were completely rewritten.
Other writers of Nancy Drew volumes include Harriet herself, she wrote most of the series after Mildred quit writing for the Syndicate and in 1959 began a revision of the first 34 texts. The role of the writer of "Carolyn Keene" passed temporarily to Walter Karig who wrote three novels during the Great Depression. Also contributing to Nancy Drew's prolific existence were Leslie McFarlane, James Duncan Lawrence, Nancy Axelrod, Priscilla Doll, Charles Strong, Alma Sasse, Wilhelmina Rankin, George Waller Jr., and Margaret Scherf.

This is another of the series where Nancy and her friends are in the six grade. The class had a pet hamster but apparently it's managed to escape. Another student brings in a rabbit and the teacher's willing to let it stay for a bit.
Problems arise, though, whenever the students are out of the classroom. The room gets messed up, and it seems the rabbit, Bun Franklin, may be responsible. Nancy wants to find out what is going on and one of her suspects is Brenda, the nasty, self-centered girl with a really bad attitude.
The solution to the mystery is not quite what was expected.
There was one thing I couldn't figure out, though. The girl said the rabbit didn't get along with the family's parrot and I can't quite figure out how those two would even get close enough to each other to be a bother to the other.
Anyhow, it's another cute book in the series.

This book was one of tons that Carolyn Keene has written! I'm not one for some of the more suspenseful mysteries, but I could easily read lots of these younger Nancy Drew books. This one was a little predictable--I totally knew from like the first few pages in that the culprit was the old class pet, not Bun Franklin. But it was a cute story--definitely one that younger girls would thoroughly enjoy. I've read some of the older Nancy Drew books and they got me on the edge of my seat and a little paranoid. I was glad this was more of a kid one, nothing scary.
