The only daughter of widower Anthony Parker, publisher of the "Riverview Star," Penny is self-sufficient, outspoken, and extraordinarily tenacious. Penny was the creation of Mildred A. Wirt, who was also the author of the original Nancy Drew series (under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene). Wirt once said, " 'I always thought Penny Parker was a better Nancy Drew than Nancy is."

Penny must take over running the Riverview Star while trying to locate the missing editor and investigate a series of audacious thefts. - Summary by Cheryl Adam (4 hr 38 min)
