Nancy Drew 12: The Message in the Hollow Oak
Nancy Drew 12: The Message in the Hollow Oak | Carolyn Keene
10 posts | 25 read | 2 to read
A group of professional detectives challenge Nancy to tackle a mystery that they have failed to solve: find an invaluable message hidden by a missionary centuries ago in a hollow oak tree in Illinois. While searching the woods for the ancient tree, Nancy and her friends live with a group of young archaeologists who are excavating prehistoric Indian burial mounds on a nearby farm. A shadowy enemy stalks Nancy and harasses everyone at the dig. The young investigator pursues her dangerous adversary to an outlaws cave, and is threatened when she discovers an unusual treasure. How Nancy, with few clues to go on, solves this complex mystery will thrill all readers.

Loved this Nancy Drew mystery story. Such an unusual premise for a great tale.

An interesting case involving an old riddle, a missing treasure, and a criminal who will stop at nothing to have it.

I loved learning that whirlybird was apparently slang for helicopters when this book was written. How cute is that?! Of course, reflecting the time period, super problematic handling of Native American/American Indian burial grounds in an anthropological dig, but that‘s to be expected.

WTH??? Your killing off Nancy Drew!!!???

NataliePatalie This happened in the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys comic I started reading but I haven't gotten to this part yet. I have a theory about how the story will play out which will end in her not being dead. Either way though it's a stupid way to "celebrate." 4y
rubyslippersreads Maybe they‘ll introduce “Baby Nancy” the way they did with Mr. Peanut. 😏 4y

Another one down for #nancydrewchallenge - this makes 11.

Nancy is recruited to help solve a 300-year-old mystery, helps on an archaeological dig on an Indian burial mound, and foils the dastardly villain dogging her steps. Helping Nancy are her faithful friends Bess, George, Ned, Burt, and Dave, as well as a few new faces.

"The woman alongside Nancy awakened and greeted her in a friendly way. While the two ate, they discussed the #weather and air travel in general." #QuotsyFeb19 #NancyDrew

RadicalReader @DarcysMom so precious! Bet it is like looking through the Looking Glass seeing your daughter pick up the same book you had 6y
DarcysMom @RadicalReader I can't articulate the joy it brings me. Reading was so significant for me and the books I loved as a kid still have so much meaning to me. 6y

twohectobooks Wish I could like this a million times! I want to get my hands on those early original versions too!! 7y
Jess_Read_This @twohectobooks It's been a hunt! So many sellers over price them. I wish they would do their research on rare vs scarce vs not as uncommon as you'd think! I've started educating myself on the different editions/years so I can be a smarter buyer as I definitely over paid in two of these... 🤦🏽‍♀️ 7y
Smangela 😍😍😍 7y
elkeOriginal This photo makes me happy - such lovely old editions! 7y
Jess_Read_This @elkeo I had the same reaction the first time I saw one of these editions! This was my fav series as a kid. When I found out the ones I read were revised and slightly more tame than the originals. I started searching for the originals so I can see what I missed out on! 7y
