Media Release -- In nominating Judge Sonia Sotamayor for the Supreme Court, President Obama twice mentioned America’s most famous girl detective. “Judge Sotomayor's interest in the law was sparked as a young girl by reading the Nancy Drew series. And that when she was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 8, she was informed that people with diabetes can't grow up to be police officers or private investigators like Nancy Drew. In essence, she was told she'd have to scale back her dreams.”
Media Release -- iParenting.com, a leading source of advice for parents, has given a 2009 iParenting Media Award to NANCY DREW graphic novel #15. The book, titled “Tiger Counter,” is available through Papercutz’s website, www.papercutz.com.
In “Tiger Counter,” by writers Stefan Petrucha & Sarah Kinney and artist Sho Murase, Nancy and her BFFs Bess and George encounter lions, tigers, and scares -- oh, my! -- as they explore the mystery of a missing cat. When the authorities learn exactly how many cats eccentric old Mrs. Eartha keeps in her house, health code violations force the cats to be removed -- but Hell hath no fury like a cat-woman scorned! That’s when Nancy, Bess, and George run into escaped lions and tigers in the woods, and a deadly cat-and-mouse game ensues. The book is a full-color, 96-page trade paperback cover-priced at $7.95 ( ISBN: 978-1-59707-118-5). It’s also available as a collector’s hardcover for $12.95 (ISBN: 978-1-59707-119-2).
