Why, why did they accuse me right away for stealing stuff from houses I work at before
they got evidence?
'What is wrong, Julie?' Nancy asked. 'They accused me of stealing things from houses I
baby sit at without any evidence or any other clues!'
Will Nancy be able to solve this mystery of her friends false accusation or not? This
book will take you away in a very fast paste, believe me it took me that way.
In the book the baby sitter is falsely accused of stealing from burglarized homes. I could
see being a suspect in her place but don't accuse her alone. One of the reasons they accused her
also was because she knew the security codes and her boyfriend only installed the systems in the
houses that were burglarized so he was also accused of it right away because of his knowing the
codes or how to get in without the alarm going off.
In this book the author, Caroline Keene, loves to trick the reader but who cares? Let your
mind go where it wants to when you read this book. At one time she had me fooled to believe
that this boy was the burglar. She will have you fooled to believe so many different things that
don't even happen in this book. Trust me I know.
The author keeps you going on and on, reading. I read this book in a day because I
wanted to find out the whole mystery and who was the burglar. If you read this book she gets
you to the point that nothing else is going on in the world. When they started finding clues that

the burglar left, it had me hooked even worse than any other time. When this happened I didn't
have even a single clue what was going on around me!!!
This book is so suspenseful! It makes you believe things that don't even happen. This
book makes you think beyond the plot. I was so suspenseful when the burglar catches Nancy and
knocks her down in the boat and was very close to hurting her severely until a little boy named
Carlos got there just in the nick of time. Wow, that was incredible and you will find the burglar
in this part.
This book was unbelievable in so many different ways. One way I really thought was
unbelievable was how can a human bean write so wonderful and mysterious? She has a
wonderful way of wording and getting the reader caught up in the story so much that you think
you are in the story and you are the main character!!!
The baby sitter is falsely accused of stealing things from houses she worked at without
evidence. The author, Caroline Keene, tricks the reader in so many different ways. Caroline
Keene, keeps the reader going on and on and on just to find what happens next. This book is
suspenseful. You can barley stay in one spot to read you should or would have to move around
because it is so exciting.

WOW! I loved this book.It was exe*.I thought it was unfair to poor old long-suffering hard-working Bess.The suspence was too good ,I love that about the Nancy Drew books. WOW!

I'd read it again because I already have read most of the Nancy Drew books I just started to read the books this year. I read the books in the order that they come in. What got me started reading the books was the kids in my school because everyone reads them. So one day, I checked one out from the school library and I couldn't put it down. So I just keep checking them out. And I think that this one is the best so far. So that is why I I'd read it again. Read to find out what happens.

This is a great mystery book , but it is not the best writen. The main characters are Nancy Drew, because this is a Nancy Drew book, and her two friends Bess and George. They are going to take a trip to Scotland becaure Nancys Great Grandmother has lost the heirloom she was going to give to Nancy, but Nancy thinks it may have been stolen. Odly anough she starts to get warnings not to go. An example is a note anonamisly sent saying she will regret going to Sotland.She and her brave friends decide to go on with the trip. They love the scenery there, but there are some realy odd things there, and odd people. One guy tries to run them off the road. Somewon ells tries to push George off of a cliff. What was at first a trip to relaxs and to have fun had turned into a trip for solveing a mystery. Nancy ,Bess and George figure out who has caused these things to happen and who took the heirloom. You will never guess who it is!! If you are looking for a quick exciting adventure you will love this book, but if you want something that is realy well writen, the kind you won,t forget , then go look for another book!

I happen to be reading this book right now, I am only into it about twenty pages, but it is already exciting! Nancy's car has been wrecked, she's got her mystery, and someone stole some money from and innocent little boy! Nancy's friends are already involved and soon they are going to leave on a trip to scotland! This is making me more excited, I am going to read it right now!

Nancy finds mystery in every thing she does. That's only one of the draws that kept children as well as adults reading the tales of our heroine well into the millennium. Author Mildred Wirst Benson died at the age of 96 this past week. She leaves behind a legacy of mysteries and a strong female character for the changing times.

Nancy flies into Scotland on family business with her dad and friends, Bess and George. She is in search of a Morgan family heirloom that is missing. There is plenty of excitement, danger, and lots of mystery as she hunts for more than just an heirloom.

Nancy exudes strength of character and an independency that rang out long before it was politically correct. This author was a woman with ideas that reached far beyond her time. She leaves behind a series that will live on long into the future. Kelsana 6/2/02

This book was VERY interesting. I thought this book was really good. I love horses and I love mystery, so it was good. I was dissapointed that there ws no Frank/Nancy stuff. But other then that it was a great book!

This books had suspense spookieness and fun mixed into one it was so cool

This is definitely one of my favorite supermysteries. At a prestigious yearling (horses 1 yr old) auction a horse is being sold for two million dollars. Unfortunately, the bidders are being targeted for murder. The plotline is fast-paced and the characters are all incredibly realistic. Will the detectives find the murderer? Read and find out! This is a must-read for any horse lover/ ND & HB mysteries. I couldn't put it down!

When Nancy and her Freinds Go to Maui to see a friend the freind starts recieving threats! This guy they call the snake bangs up his surfboard and kidnaps him. I'm not going to tell you the ending so read it for yourself!

Mystery On Maui is a book from the wonderful Nancy Drew Series. Nancy Drew goes on vacation with her two best friends, George and Bess to Maui,Hawai to meet Nancy's pen pal, Danny Takemura. Danny introduced to Nancy and her friends a new friend. His name is Josh. This story is mainly about figuring out who keeps on sabatoging Josh, so he will drop out of the biggest surf contest of the year- The Gulf Caost Surf-Off. These are the bad things that they did to Josh, the banged up his surfboard,they put a poisonous snake in Josh's bag, they threw some artificial blood in the water so the sharks will come when Nancy and when her friends went snorkeling, and they left him a threat note. At the end Nancy found out that it was Josh's friend that owns the surf shop. She poured kerosene on them and said that she would throw a lighter in there. I thought this book was very exicting.

This book not only has charme, but it gave me goosebumps not knowing what was on the next page. I have been reading Nancy Drew books for eight years and this is on my top ten list and trust me it bumped down quite a few books if you only read one Nancy Drew book read this one!!

One of the better Nancy Drew notebooks I've read. I liked the ending when Nacy wrote down in her blue notebook about what she had learnt in the case. But a lot of the Nancy Drew notebooks I've read end with no one directly responsible for the case. I usually like it that way, but I feel that I want a culprit in this story.

Would you ever want to face a challenge to see who the best was? Well, Nancy Drew does. Jason Hutchins, one of the three pests in the class, thinks he can beat Nancy in solving a mystery. Nancy Drew has lost her special blue notebook that she writes all her clues in. No way! Nancy is the best detective in Carl Sandburg Elementary. Jason is not going to solve a mystery before Nancy..... or is he! 0 Read this book to find out who wins the challenge in Nancy Drew Notebooks, the Best Detective by: Carolyn Keene.

When Nancy looses her blue notbook, a boy named Jason chalenges her to see who can find it first. He said that whoever found it first was the best detective.

Dazai's style is so different from that of western writers that I at first felt annoyed with his style. Having read Dower's Embracing Defeat and seeing the anime Grave of the Fireflies, I started to develop an appreciaiton of the state of post World War II Japan. The common Japanese were zombified and trying to make sense of the new order. The far left was becoming appealing as were various cults.

Dazai tells the story of a 30 year old woman from the upper class who has lost everything. She moves with her ailing mother and opium addicted brother to the country side where she falls in love with a novelist who is a friend of here brothers and married.

The pace of the story and lack of a final climax frustrated me at times, but the challenge of adjusting to the novel made a more intimate impression on me.

Simply an excellent book. One can not read this book and not marvel and Dazai's superb skill as a story-teller. Some consider The Setting Sun to be a "lesser work" than No Longer Human. Sure, whatever. The Setting Sun stands on its own, and is very much a worthwhile read.

The Setting Sun is no longer an unknown novel for the Western reader, but one should keep in mind that Shayou is, even today, one of the most popular Japanese novels. Basically a portrait of a society in an acute need for change, The Setting Sun is both a reflection of Dazai's period of Marxist activism and, probably, the most interesting illustration of the 'shishousetsu' (the I novel). Just like those in No Longer Human (Ningen shikkaku), the characters in The Setting Sun are Dazai's images of hiw own self. Kazuko, the revolted self, the one waiting for the revolution and for the violent change of the society, decided to defide the rules (she will choose to have a baby, even if not married - a perfectly normal thing nowadays, but not in the Japanese society, back in the 40's), Naoji, her brother, the defeated self, who will choose the suicide, exactly as Dazai himself will do and, of course, Uehara, the writer, the type of the Dazaisesque artist. A novel about a family (meant to represent the whole society, in the light of Lenin's idea about the family being 'the basic cell of the society' - after all, Dazai must have read some of Lenin's works while activ in the communist underground movement, in the 30's) which comes to its extinction. A masterpiece on Dazai's idea of revolte and revolution.

This review concerns the original 1943 edition as well as the revised 1972 edition which is merely a shortened version of the original. Nancy meets an elderly lady, Mrs. Alexandra, who was formerly a queen in a European country. When a revolution erupted in the country, the woman's entire family perished except for her grandson who was brought to America by his nurse. When Mrs. Alexandra escaped to America, she was never able to find her grandson and hopes that Nancy could locate him for her. Also, pickpockets are at work in River Heights. To anyone that just read my summary of the book and thinks that it will be boring, don't let that stop you from reading this book; it is actually a fairly decent book. I liked the fact that through the course of the book, Nancy was fooled and used many times by the criminals to get away with their crimes, it made her seem more human and not like the SuperNancy we see in many of the books. However, in the end her intelligence and intuition won out over the criminals. I particularly thought that it was clever the way in which the pickpockets managed to fool Nancy. The book has a moderate amount of action, is written well and I found that for the most part it held my interest all the way through. I think that most Nancy Drew fans would enjoy reading it.

This book was pretty good and it was interesting to read it. There was some really exiting parts and some really boring parts, but overall it was a good book.

This book was a great suspense/thriller book. Nancy helps an elderly woman named Mrs. Alexandra. Nancy befriends her and learns she is a queen from a distant country. Mrs. Alexandra tells her of a long lost grandson, which she is determined to find. Nancy is trying to solve that mystery, when she notices many pick-pocket thefts in her town of River Heights. Nancy then finds out the two mystery's are connected, and Nancy is determined to solve it. Nancy figures out the confusing burglury of wallets, and finds the long lost grandson of Mrs. Alexandra. This is a wonderful book, like all Nancy Drew's.

This review concerns the original 1948 edition as well as the revised 1967 edition which is a shorter version of the original. A widow seeks Nancy's help after she is robbed of a fortune in jewels. It seems the woman's deceased husband's spirit instructed her to bury the jewels in the forest to prevent them from being stolen from her home. Nancy is certain that the woman is the victim of a clever group of swindlers. Her investigation puts her into contact with several young women who are being cheated out of their hard-earned paychecks and leads her to abandoned Blackwood Hall. There, Nancy encounters an eerie, glowing ghost that inhabits the mansion. This is definately one of the best Nancy Drew books. The mystery is interesting and the story is fast-paced and well-written with lots of action. I really enjoyed the middle chapters, particularly the first two times Nancy investigates Blackwood Hall and meets the ghost. The whole book is great and a must-read for fans of the series.

Hey, if youre looking for something really cool and very thrilling,why not read Carolyn Keenes The Ghost Of Blackwood Hall with the super sleuth Nancy Drew. In the story, she was determined to solve a case of an old client involving some jewelry thievery and later on, it was complicated with a ghost playing on an organ in a dark,old mansion. She was also been assigned to study the cases of 3 working ladies for they are giving and donating money on a crook company. The very interesting part in the story is that when Nancy, with her friends George and Bess, first went to the old mansion. Come on, share the thrill and go on screaming when you read this wonderfull stuff. thanks!!!!!!

This is a rather unusual Nancy Drew mystery involving seances, hynoptism, and a journey to New Orleans for Nancy, George and Bess. Nancy is attempting to help Mrs. Putney, a woman recently widowed, who, while gullible in some matters, does not completely trust Nancy.

The action is non-stop and the plot moves breathlessly and will sweep you up. "The Ghost of Blackwood Hall" is a thriller, and highly recommended.

When a pearl is stolen from a local jeweler named Mr.Moto, Nacy Drew is asked to locate the item and bring it back. Her case leads her to Japan where she stays with relatives of Mr.Moto.

Nancy goes through perilous situations just to find the pearl. She disguises herself as a Tokyo girla and starts picking up clues. Will Nancy be able to solve the mystery or is it too complex?

The book was okay in it's own sense. But I think there should have been more to the story. Such as near the end where they find the thieves. The whole thing going on there should have been expalined more. It left me out in the dark a little. For some reason I just felt somthing was missing. Although the setting in Japan was quite interesting.

I reccomend this book to Nancy Drew fans because it is the last one of the original(this is not the original book though) series.

This is a great Nancy Drew, but not the best. As reviews show Nancy Drew books may be old but are still being printed and are selling strong. The kids at my school lirbary race to see who gets to the Nancy Drew section first. I like Carolyn Keene because she doesn't write freaky mysteries, she writes ones that are real sounding and don't keep you up at night.

"This book is all th@ and a bag of chips because it portrays N.D. @ her best! Yeah Nancy! U go gurl! Check it!

I thought The Treasure in the Royal Tower was good, but you knew who it was all along!...

I like this book because it helped me relax during the computor game. It is about Nancy and her friends, Bess and George on a ski vacation. I recommend this book to any mystery fans.

A winter vacation in Wisconsin promises plenty of skiing, skating,and snowmobiling.
