Fun read

great if u like nancy drew

I think this book is 50-50, Nancy is a little lame in this book and unlike the others, she doesn't have Bess and George with her most of the time. I think this Nancy Drew diaries book deserves 3 stars.***

The story was good.

Oh boy, did this book tick me off! This book has to be the most biggest slap in the face to ND fans and a big insult to fans and Nancy Drew herself! Nancy is so wimpy, immature, and lame in this book. Every few pages, she gets easily scared or shakes from fear or screams in fear. She screams in fear more times than anyone else in the book! Bess and George also have to comfort Nancy sometimes because of her lame behavior! Nancy even has George lead the way in the haunted house when they go there to investigate because she is too scared to! In one scene, she says she is glad she hasn't peed herself from being scared! Um, really? How is this girl supposedly Nancy Drew, and even a detective at that too?? This is not Nancy Drew at all! She even says she investigated haunted houses before, but how can that be if she's scared all the time?? Her timid behavior was a bit annoying in previous books(#12, #13, and #15), but her behavior is worse in this book, way worse! Nancy is not strong, brave, and confident. Also, Bess scares Nancy and laughs. That is so unlike Bess! But Bess was pretty entertaining in this book, she carries around pepper spray and threatens to use it. She also seems to be back to her old self from the old series, she is scared and hungry like she used to be. But back to Nancy. Nancy is sort of determined in this book, but she has to keep telling herself why she is solving the mystery in order to stay determined. I guess she also kinda uses her head in this book, but her behavior overshadows her detective skills and really, the mystery solves itself here. In one scene, where Nancy and Hannah are at the door, getting ready to see who is outside, Hannah has a rolling pin for a weapon and Nancy thinks she should be bringing Hannah out sleuthing instead of Bess and George, basically saying Bess and George are not good sidekicks! Wow Nancy, poor Bess and George. But then Nancy changes her mind at the end, saying there wouldn't be any other two people to face an "angry ghost" with. Um ok then. There is also in one scene that had taken me back a bit. When Willa talks about the house on Heliotrope Lane, Bess says that it sounds like one of those old mystery stories, with the yellow covers. Um, was this a "cute" reference to the older Nancy Drew books??? Huh?? It's like this author is getting a kick out of writing a Nancy Drew book and had to make a lame reference. It also makes the entire book seem a parody of Nancy Drew. This book is actually almost a parody of Nancy Drew, due to Nancy's scaredy cat behavior. However, I did enjoy the scenes at the haunted house, those were actually pretty spooky and the end was pretty suspenseful and a bit exciting. The mystery was interesting and different, but I would have enjoyed it so much more if Nancy wasn't so lame! Overall, the premise of this book is so promising, but the book is pretty disappointing, due to Nancy being a mess in this book and I was so annoyed the whole time, reading about her. This book is a disgrace to Nancy Drew. The old Nancy Drew is rolling in her grave! I really hope for the next book, one of the authors that wrote #14, #11, #7, and #5 return for it and Nancy is confident, strong, and brave again. I really do not want to read yet another book with a weak Nancy again. Why can't Simon and Schuster keep one of those authors for the whole series?? Sigh. 2 stars.

Continues the series which I am collecting. A very good read for Nancy Drew fans-young and older.

Good
