I loved these books as a girl. Cheesy

NEW YORK Shes looking pretty good for 75.

Nancy Drew (search), the "girl detective" who helped lead the way for strong female characters in pop culture, just had a birthday.

And not only does Nancy, who started solving mysteries in 1930, live on in the fictional sleuths who have stepped into her gumshoes, she's still going strong herself.

"Over the 75-year period, she was modernized at times her 1930s roadster gave way to a convertible in the 1950s and then later a Mustang convertible and now presently a hybrid car," said Jennifer Fisher, president of the unofficial Nancy Drew Sleuth fan club.

Indeed, there are still some Nancy Drew publications in print, and they are still very popular.

In the current children's series, "The Nancy Drew Notebooks," (search) Nancy and her entourage are only 8 years old.

In the new "Nancy Drew: Girl Detective" (search) series, introduced by publisher Simon & Schuster in April, Nancy has new mysteries to solve, but this time they're written in the first person, by the teen herself, and the stories come with a comic-book style counterpart.

I used to own every one of her books. Somehow have lost them over the years and only have a few left. Nancy Drew was a huge part of my childhood.

We have the first 100, not sure if there were more. My 8 year old daughter loves them and reads about 1 a week if she can.

I remember the TV show too with Pamela Sue Anderson and the Hardy Boys show with Shaun Cassidy and Parker Stevenson. Good TV.

Right now I am trying to get my daughter to read Encyclopedia Brown, if they still have them out there, I remember reading those in grade school and loved them. The next thing she wants to read is the Harry Potter books and I still read to her from the Narnia series once a week as well. I love having a child I can read with/to.
