The earliest Nancy Drew stories are now in the public domain.

Which means anyone can rewrite them.
And some people already are.

Nancy as a podcaster.
​
Nancy solving mysteries on a group chat.
​
Nancy tracking clues that turn out to be browser tabs left open.

The character stays the same.
The world around her changes.

That's how long children's stories survive.
​
They keep getting reimagined.
