River Heights (Nancy Drew)

River Heights was an American paperback spinoff series from the original Nancy Drew series of mystery stories for preteen girl readers published by Simon & Schuster. This series (also credited to Carolyn Keene) involved Nancy's neighbor, Nicki Masters, and revolved around Nicki's friends and rivals at River Heights High School. These books, unlike the originals, were mostly romance books. The series lasted for a short time, consisting of 16 volumes and a "Super Sizzler" special edition. Although sharing the same (pseudonymous) author, in this series Nancy Drew is only featured in the prologue to the first volume.
