Where it all began for the famed Nancy Drew!

Hello! So, you stumbled upon this book sitting about in the wild I see. It has this odd “bookcrossing” sticker posted on it, and a slightly shady-looking number scribbled messily inside of it which you have just typed into a random website... It’s a mystery Nancy Drew would surely like to solve!

But, to crack the case right away, bookcrossing is a website for “travelling books.” A member of this site registers a book, and then puts it out into “the wild” for someone else to randomly find! The goal of it is to turn the world into a library, and (I personally hope) put even more whimsy into the world than it already has. If you like, you can write a journal entry here, talking about how you found the book, what you thought of the book, if you've read it before, your plans for it, what your favorite brand of cocoa powder is — really anything! If you do, it will let me, and others who have had this book before you, know that someone found the book, which I would love to hear!

So please enjoy reading this free little mystery, and then when you are ready, you may put it somewhere in the "wild" for someone else to read if you wish. Thank you for helping this wanderlust book on its journey.

This book was left in the dinosaur exhibit!
