2 posts | 8 read | 2 to read

Thrilling, dangerous adventures confront Nancy Drew while on a safari in East Africa with a group of American college students. Excitement runs high as the teen-age detective delves into the theft of a fabulous sapphire formed by nature millions of years ago. The mystery starts in Nancy’s home town. Her lawyer father’s client, Floyd Ramsay, who fashions beautiful and unusual synthetic gems, is accused of stealing the magnificent spider sapphire and exhibiting it as his own creation. Mr. Ramsay’s enemies blackmail him and by their vicious acts try to deter Nancy from going on the safari. Readers will join Nancy as she uncovers a nefarious scheme and solves the strange disappearance of an injured jungle guide.

Well, Nancy‘s the first book of the year! Unfortunately this is so massively racist I had trouble reading it to the kiddo - I had to keep editing what I was reading aloud. Nancy gets involved in a mystery that takes her to Nairobi and Mombasa. We‘ve got ā€the Indian saidā€¯ for the natives of India living in Mombasa and ā€the black saidā€¯ for some of the native Africans, plus so much more. Also just a ridiculous plot. No thanks.

Tamra š™„ When I think back to my childhood books now I cringe not so much for overt racism, but the covert in the complete & utter lack of representation. Sometimes I don‘t finish adult period novels for the same reasons you cite. It‘s difficult to gloss over. (edited) 5y
