The Hidden Staircase by Carolyn Keene
2.0
Wow - found this old-school Nancy Drew (and a few others) in a box I was rummaging through. I must re-read it. :) Nancy wasn't my favourite in this genre (the Bobbsey Twins held that honour for me), but I remember reading more than a few.
Interesting to realize this is a rewritten version - I'm tempted to track down the original for a comparison...
Review:
So I ended up taking turns rolling my eyes and being unable to put the book down. The writing is definitely dated - and at some points its Twilight bad. I did love the sleuthing bits though, and I remembered why I was so addicted to mystery books as a kid - I still wanted to be Nancy, making all those awesome discoveries.
I might take a run at the other Nancy Drews in that box, just for fun.
