Ratings and reviews

i enjoyed the story considering that it was the first book. i find these books more thrilling than hardy boys and bobbsey twin. It is full of suspense and thrilling excitment. Keep up the good work!!!

The original print of this series from the 30s was much better. In this version, Nancy didn't carry a gun, was less outgoing, & never broke the law. But overall it was ok.

Not a time in the whole book where you aren't itching to turn the page and say to yourself "just one more" I am a huge Nancy Drew fan! And have read about half of them, this is by far the best one
