MISSING NANCY DREW By Caroline Keene

Are you the type of person who goes for those mysterious action impact stories? Well if you are, then this story is for you! This book is about a detective named Nancy Drew and she has three best friends named, Bess, Ned, and Georgia. At the beginning of the story Bess, Ned, and Georgia went to meet Nancy at a diner but Nancy never showed up. So they called her cell phone on a pay phone and she never picked up. Upon returning to Nancy’s house they found the cleaning lady and Nancy’s dad. They asked if Nancy had stopped by, but she hadn’t so they looked for clues in Nancy’s room. Her cell phone and clothes that she was going to wear that day for a date were in the closet. After finding these facts, Bess, Ned, and Georgia jumped in the car to go look for Nancy because perhaps she was going to investigate a case at the museum. They were thinking that this was a case that they needed Nancy to help with, but they needed to find her first. Was Nancy found? Read the book to find out the rest and by the way, my favorite part was when Georgia, Ned, and Bess were looking for clues in Nancy’s room.
