"When Nancy Drew came back as a ghost, seeking news of what she loved most,she asked first,"Where is my son,what happened to Abe, what have he done"?
This was one of my favorite books growing up in Liberia. The Nancy Drew series was read my many kids and we loved it.

Wow. I read a lot of books as a child. A LOT!!! I was quite a voracious reader. I didn't read a lot of foreign books though, (so I didn't know of the Nancy Drew mentioned here, only knew of the one shown on Teevee). Eze goes to school. Tales out of school. Cheer up brother. The college days of John Ojo. My father's car. An African night's entertainment. The drummer boy. The passport of Mallam illia. Sugar girl. The Village headmaster. Tales from an African Village. Stories my mother told me. The African child. Chike and the river. Things fall apart. The slave girl. The bottled Leopard. The wives' revolt. Echoes of hard times. Oliver Twist. Peter Abraham The she-devil.  Gower street. Shakespeare; Macbeth, merchant of Venice etc. Infact etc to the whole list sef.
