Review

Jane O'Connor continues her "Nancy Clancy" series with Book 7 "Nancy Clancy seeks a fortune." Nancy and her classmates are all focused on trying to become wealthy (and most are failing at it). Some create masks to sell, others make baked goods, and Nancy and her friend Bree try making fancy crowns, but they find that even with a successful product it's hard to make a profit.

The book teaches a lot of good words like "wealth," "entrepreneur," and "appraised." It's fun and educational, and a quick read. I'd recommend it as a must-buy if your library has a lot of Fancy Nancy fans that are growing up.

Overall Book Score: very good
