This was a fun one. Heavy on the adventure, light on the mystery solving, but I thought it worked out well.

Page turner! The beginning was already a mystery and as the story progressed, even more mysteries were added to the plot. I was more than halfway through and yet the mysteries keep piling on.

It was nice how everything tied up together. Plus, I wasn't able to guess the ending! 5 stars

I read this aloud to my niece over a week long vacation. At almost 6 years old she was so invested in the story, and it reminded me why I fell in love with Nancy Drew when I read these non stop as a kid. The blue cover is so nostalgic for me, and it was great to reconnect with a character I loved so dearly.

The language hasn’t aged super well, but it was written in 1931 so I wasn’t really expecting it to.
