5. In what book is Ned first introduced?

Answer: "The Clue in the Diary"

Ned is actually introduced in "The Clue in the Diary," but in "The Secret of Shadow Ranch," Ned is mentioned, but they have really never met him! Well, so you know, "The Clue in the Diary" is #7, and "The Secret of Shadow Ranch" is #5. The mistake happened when the editors were updating the original yellow hardcovers. Oh, well, they are still great books.

Her best friend's name is Helen, and she is only mentioned in the first few books. She gets married and therefore becomes uninteresting, so Nancy "meets" Bess, George, and Ned.

Ned and Nancy travel to private school Basson College to visit Linc Sheffield, Ned's childhood friend. Nancy's visit soon turns into a case. Read it to find out more!
