I fell in love with these books as an adult.   For some reason I never read them as a child but I wish I had.  Now I plan on reading the whole series as an adult.

Loved these books growing up. I really thought I remembered more of the actual mystery, but I was wrong! Super fun to read again.

I remember my mom reading these to me and so I just enjoy the nostalgia of it.

The characters are very one-dimensional. They are either good or bad without any middle ground. Rather annoying reading for an adult, but I’m sure children (the intended audience) would find it enjoyable.

4 stars. I haven’t read the original yellow spine Nancy Drew series since I was a little girl so it was wonderful revisiting and starting all over. I thoroughly enjoyed and am shocked how well this has held up. It’s an intriguing case, Nancy is very likable and so smart and I just had a really great time reading this and I’m looking forward to reading this series again.
