      The Judy Bolton Mystery Series, created by Margaret Sutton, follows a realistic young woman who solves mysteries. Almost as popular as Nancy Drew, Judy Bolton has been called a more complex and believable role model for girls. Judy was also unique in that halfway through the series, she married (something series book heroines rarely, if ever, did). The 38 volume series holds the distinction of being the longest lasting juvenile mystery series ever written by an individual author. "The Phantom Friend" is the 30th book in the series.
