"Rubini frames the story as a mystery, asking why, despite Nancy
Drew's fame, most people have never heard of Benson and tracking
down clues and evidence to uncover more information about the life
of this little-known author...VERDICT A solid option for those
interested in the 'Nancy Drew' mysteries." -School Library
JournalGrowing up in Ladora, Iowa, Mildred "Millie" Benson had
ample time to develop her imagination, sense of adventure, and
independence. Millie left her small hometown to attend the
University of Iowa, where she became the first person to earn a
master's degree from the school of journalism. While still a
graduate student, Millie began writing for the Stratemeyer
Syndicate, which published the phenomenally popular Hardy Boys
series, among many others. Soon, Edward Stratemeyer tapped Millie
for a new series starring amateur sleuth Nancy Drew, a young,
independent woman not unlike Millie herself. The syndicate paid its
writers a flat fee for their work and published the books under
pseudonyms. Under the pen name Carolyn Keene, Millie went on to
write twenty-three of the first thirty books of the Nancy Drew
Mystery Stories. In all, Millie wrote more than a hundred novels
for young people under her own name and under pseudonyms. Millie
was also a journalist for the Toledo (Ohio) Times and The Blade. At
the age of sixty-two she obtained her pilot's license and combined
her love of aviation with her passion for writing, sharing her
travels and adventures with readers. Follow the clues throughout
Missing Millie to solve the mysteries of this ghostwriter,
journalist, and adventurer.
