Not exactly my favorite Nancy Drew book, but Stephanie Tromly mentioned this specific one in an interview. In this book, Nancy manages to solve a mystery AND get the top spot in a gardening contest. Yes. She is even more achingly perfect than usual. LOL. :)

"Trouble here. After five o'clock blue bells will be singing horses. Come tonight."
Such a nostalgic read.

I didn't really like this. I felt like it had a lot of filler and many of the characters present didn't have anything to do. The clues were found/ figured out too fast. This wasn't really a "who done it", because the shady characters were introduced as shady characters, but more of a "what did they do".

Nancy Drew vs. Elder Abuse in which...
she drinks a lot of milk, shout out to the dairy industry!
is somehow an Olympic level diver
actually DOES something instead of just being led places by obvious breadcrumbs and inept baddies

I read the 1933 version of this story and there were numerous inconsistencies with the 1960's editions. Nancy is joined on this adventure by a single? Helen Corning. Last time I saw her she was engaged to be married. In this story, Nancy had 2 different roadsters. Wby did she need a new one? Numbers 8,9,and 10 were not written by Mildred Wirt Benson and it showed. Larkspurs, pigeons, and elder abuse all played a big part in this story. Once again, Nancy always knows what to do and she saves the day with a little help from Ned and Helen. A fun nostalgic read.

My very first Nancy Drew read, and I loved it! This was such a nice, cozy mystery, though there were some things that were too predictable, but that is probably because it is intended for a younger audience than me (I’m 19).
