But her big screen breakthrough came last years when she landed the role of fictional super-sleuth Nancy Drew, loosely based on the books.

Like so many of today's films Nancy Drew looked back at Nancy's teenage years focusing on her being a high school student as she discovers her love for sleuthing.

Despite being a popular series of novels Nancy Drew was not met well by the critics and went on to gross just over $30 million at the global box office.

But this week Roberts is back as spoilt brat Poppy Moore, who is shipped off to an English boarding school leaving her privileged LA lifestyle behind, in teen flick Wild Child.

Next for the young star is Hotel for Dogs in which four friends take in nine stray dogs and there are rumours of a Nancy Drew sequel in the pipeline.

Wild Child is on general release now.
