I have not read all of the Nancy Drew books. Yet I remember reading this one and thought it was one of the better ones.

EclecticBookLover I love Nancy Drew.! I'm m trying to track down (and read!) the first 50 or so that have the shiny yellow hardcovers. Quest for the Missing Map has always been on of my favorites. 3y

For me, this was the series that started it all! I always loved reading and books, but when I found I was capable of reading books with chapters and no pictures, I was hooked and never without a book again. I loved Nancy and her friends, and I loved trying to help them figure out their mysteries.

Andrew65 Great series. 4y
mom2bugnbee Yessssssssssssssss. I'm 48yo & I can still picture the public library shelves that held these books when I was a tween. 4y
AlaMich I have a box full of the old yellow NDs, just like these, in my basement. My dad finally shipped them to me a few years ago in exasperation. 😂 4y
Soubhiville Me too @mom2bugnbee ! I‘m 45, and I remember looking through the titles at the library and choosing the spookiest ones! 4y

Nancy kept the spotlight on the #panic-stricken pair as they charged through the brush and meadow grass toward the road.

Third finish of the day! Wrapped this up with my daughter during bedtime. Another good mystery for the girl detective, though we have villains who are pretty unbelievable in their cruelty and cleverness, a significant character whose motivation makes no sense, and Nancy‘s best friends behave badly toward her. Still a fun romp.

Number 6 down for #nancydrewchallenge

I was a big Nancy Drew reader as a kid. So when I found this 1933 Edition in the antique store, I had to buy it and I must read it and compare.

Another set I came across today! I think many of us once read Nancy Drew 😊. These are the only ones I actually owned back in the 70s. All others I read were from the library 📚📚📚.

LauraBeth I need to re-read some Nancy Drew! She rocked my childhood ❤️ 7y
Jaimelire I read so many of these. Love Nancy Drew. 7y
WarpedSweetness I loved Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys! I just got The Hidden Staircase in my Homemade Decades box and I can't wait to read it again. 7y
