IT was absolutely great. One of the best of Nancy Drew. It was quite different from rest of the books . One keeps on guessing who could be the culprit. And you will only know when you finish the book.

This is one of those books I use over and over again with my K-3 reading groups. The kids love the activities and I am happy with what they are learning. To be good readers, children need to be able to hear the sounds that make words, change sounds in words to make new words, and see the relationship between sounds. This book supplies you with over 60 exciting lessons for just that. The lessons are easy to do and many you can do without any materials. The book does supply you with the needed reproducible manipulatives, picture cards, and word lists

One of my favorite and easy activities in the book is called Rhyme Away. You draw the given picture on the board and erase parts of the picture as you read clues to the class. The students have to finish a rhyme phrase and then erase that picture on the board. That is a Level 1 activity in the book. The activities range in Levels from 1 to 5. There are activities for rhyming, blending, syllable counting, sound matching, phoneme isolation, phoneme counting, phoneme substitution, phoneme deletion, and more!

This book gets my full approval and I am so happy to have found it.

I now see why France is such a popular place to visit something is always going on. Murder, theft, random accidents, art, and parties. I liked this book it was suspenseful. The characters were twisted and the suspense never died. My favorite part of the book was where Nancy was right on the edge of solving the crime then gets new leads that disturb the previous leads. I felt bad for George. She unfortunantly gets involved with the wrong guy yet again. Nancy finds out that Georges' new love not only does some terrible stealing, but he also tries to kill both George and Nancy by locking them in a room on the top floor of an abandened building. However that happens in the later part of the story and you know that there were more accidents then that one such as Nancy coincidentally almost falling down a very long flight of concrete stairs. The plot thickens as you read further into the book. You got to read it from the beginning to understand why all of the coinciding accidents occur.

I started reading Poison Elves in 1999, because I'm always looking for books about elves. Not Santa's elves, but the elves of the ancient legends of several of our older cultures. I was not disappionted; they are not the kind of elves who sit on mushrooms and sing goofy songs. This book is not for the faint of heart. He's not the good guy at all, but in the world he lives in and with the people he socializes with he may have some redeeming qualities. Lusipher isn't good at socializing anyway. I'll let the reader make their own individual opinion about Lusipher.

I saw Robert Drapala at a book signing last summer on Hatteras Island because I was a fan of his last book, but this one was even more interesting. I did not know that the first amphibious attack of the Civil War was on Hatteras Island--it was absolutely fascinating! The journal drawings are just beautiful, I never knew they existed. As a 12-year summer resident of Hatteras Island, I learned a lot from this book. Just wonderful!

This is the best Nancy Drew I ever read. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great adventure book with lots of action and suspense. I have reread it over and over again. Even my mom loved it!

I used this book extensively for my BA thesis, which was on different paradigms of play. Hyland is a wonderful writer (especially for a philosopher) and his perspective is uniquely intelligent on the subject of play. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone, and especially to those who are interested in play and/or philosophy.

this book is great. everything you could expect. Nancy challenges ned to go to a cooking school(ned burns the barbecue) and he accepts. Then all four Bess, george, nancy and ned get in trouble when ned finds a chef in the freezer,
D-E-A-D. HE also get's jelous when- well Just Read the book. It is (i guess scary, finding a chef frozen to death. in a freezer) but i guess It falls under the category FANTASTIC.

as one madcapped mishap follows another in this love-on-the-road story. From the first moment Kim Grant bumps into Rick Taylor at the airport, nothing is ever quite the same. They both need to get across the country, and never has the journey seemed so long...at least not until the minute that forever wouldn't be long enough for Kim. She's in love. But Rick doesn't believe in forevers. As a matter of fact, his urgent trip is prompted by the need to save his brother from another marriage. But Kim is a forever kind of girl. How can they possibly find a happily-ever-after?

Jennifer Drew will have laughing and sighing in this hilarious story!

I rated this book 5 stars because, although it's not the best mystery I've ever read, it's the best Nancy Drew book I've read. I especially enjoyed the part about how book collectors mark books to show that they are theirs (for example, a pinpoint on page 4, line 4). The book kept me guessing about who the culprit would be until the very end. Good book for those of you who like Nancy Drew.
