Homing pigeons!
Kidnappers!
Car chases!
Nancy saves a child!
Nancy Noggin Knockout!
It’s all in a day’s work for our plucky heroine!
(Is anyone else concerned that Nancy collects “mementos” like a serial killer? j/k I am, however, concerned about her having CTE by the time she turns 30.)
Another fun adventure--though a dangerous one, too! It seemed to me that Nancy was bolder than ever--maybe even recklessly so . . . But maybe that's just me being anxious ;) Overall, it was a fast-paced and entertaining read, as expected!

Definitely not my favorite in the series, though I now know because I read [book:Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her|84917] that this is because it was written by a different ghostwriter.

#10 does it again! Nancy's best quote: "I'll wire the International Federation of American Homing Pigeon Fanciers and give them the number stamped on the bird's leg ring." This is on PAGE 3! Written by a male ghostwriter, this story contains a lot of threats, voices in the dark, Nancy's head striking the pavement (#nancyheadknocks), and elderly people in danger at a supposed retirement home. This one did not disappoint!

Read this sort of on a whim because I stumbled on a copy of the original text, and I have exactly three thoughts about it:
- Yes, it's a mess, and it's (mostly) a fun mess, but I can see why this needed some work
- Nancy Drew has quite literally always been That Girl
- Historians will call them (Nancy and Helen) close friends

Good break in mystery to escape an asylum!
I had a massive Nancy Drew phase in third grade, which resulted in the accumulation of many of the books on my shelf. Over summer 2018, I stumbled across some copies in this indie bakery/bookstore in north carolina which of course, I picked up and started to read. Now I realized why I liked these books so much. Time to blow the dust off my copies and reread them! :)
