What secret life-giving power does the exquisite ivory elephant charm contain? Can the trinket really protect its wearer from all harm? Nancy Drew finds out when the owner of the Bengleton Wild-Animal Show asks her to investigate one of the performers who may be involved in some mysterious illegal scheme.The girl detectives assignment becomes complicated when the elephant trainers young assistant, Rishi, seeks refuge at the Drew home from his cruel foster father, Rai.While following clues to help the boy find his real father, Nancy learns about an eerie abandoned house. She is harassed by its strange owner, Anita Allison, and the fiendish Rai. How Nancy uses the ivory charm, reunites a maharaja with his son, and brings the evildoers to justice will mystify readers from beginning to end.

#LittenDetectives : Our next Nancy Drew adventure involves an ivory charm (imagine that)!

Thankfully, both versions are similar with a few changes, not like the vastly different plot lines in the last two books!

Discussion will take place on November 15th. Everyone is welcome to join! Please let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list! #NancyDrewBR

Librarybelle Thanks for reposting! 3w
JenlovesJT47 @Librarybelle can you add me to the list please? I‘ve never read any Nancy Drew books but it sounds like fun! Are you reading them in order? 3w
Librarybelle @JenlovesJT47 We are! We started the end of last year and are now up to book 13. 3w
JenlovesJT47 @Librarybelle awesome! I‘m going to start with book 1 and try to catch up ASAP 🤓 3w

DGRachel Yay! My library actually has this one. Fingers crossed my hold comes in on time! 3w
dabbe I hope it's not going to be about poaching elephants or something of that nature. 😱 3w
Ruthiella Looking forward to this! Now we are well into the books I didn‘t read or have access to as child. It‘s an adventure! 3w
Bookwormjillk I think I have the 1930‘s version of this one too. It‘s a relief to hear they‘re more similar this time! 3w
Sace Can‘t wait! 3w
Librarybelle @Ruthiella It definitely is! 3w
Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk Yes! From what I read, there are some name changes and maybe some slightly condensed scenes, but same storyline. It‘ll make for easier discussions! 3w
julieclair Oh my, @dabbe , I hadn‘t even thought of that. But given the date this was written, it‘s certainly possible. 😢 3w

The wild animal show asks Nancy to investigate one of the performers who may be involved in some mysterious illegal scheme, possibly involving murder…

A circus, a child, and a mysterious ivory charm that holds the power of life and death.

Bah. I hate to give Nancy a pan, but I have to. Blatant racism, a nutty American woman who‘s into Indian mysticism and engineered a revolution in a wealthy Indian province while stealing the maharaja‘s riches AND kidnapping his son, a magic charm that holds the secret of life and death...sorry, too much for me.

Number 13 for #nancydrewchallenge done.

“En route” used twice in two pages?

TG789 Oh man this makes me want to read a Nancy drew book! Brings me back to my childhood! 6y
ravenlee @TG789 there‘s a #nancydrewchallenge going on, trying to read all the books this year. GoodReads also has a list of alternate challenges for the titles (for instance, the alternate option for the tagged book is something with a lot of white on the cover). Love to have you join us! 6y
TG789 @ravenlee oh wow!! I‘d love to! 6y

TG789 What timing for you to answer I just started The Secret of the Old Clock! 6y
TG789 Okay wait- I‘m confused on what to do? Copy and paste the first part? Or just say I want to join? 6y
ravenlee @tg789 it‘s an independent challenge, so we‘re not tracking each other. When I finish one I just use the #nancydrewchallenge in my Litsy post. If you do GoodReads there might be more to it, but I don‘t use it so I don‘t know. 6y
TG789 Ohhhh that‘s where I was confused! PERFECT! Thank you! 6y

I‘m having real trouble with this one. The stilted speech of the Indian boy, yet his almost-fluency of ideas (does that make sense?) is tough. I usually try to do accents or voices for important characters as I‘m reading to the kiddo, but gave up this one rather than be a caricature. The usual coincidences and suspension of disbelief are causing some strain, too. Definitely not my favorite Nancy.

Suddenly she became #aware that the ivory charm was no longer around her neck. Had she removed it the previous evening before retiring? She could not remember doing so.

Unboxing my #1930s #homemadedecades box. I love everything in this box. I read Nancy Drew books when I was younger but I've never read this title. I color to relax so the Wizard of Oz coloring book is great- I really like the poster in the back. My favorite things- the book sleeve and the keychain. So happy I chose Q as my initial. If I had known I was picking a Scrabble tile I would have picked Q, the queen of Scrabble tiles. Thank you.

VioletBramble @mrsamandahood, I tagged you but it didn't work. 7y
mrsamandahood I'm glad you liked everything! When you put Q as an option, I got really excited! One of the most sought after scrabble letters! ☺️☺️☺️ 7y
VioletBramble @mrsamandahood, when I unwrapped it my sister shouted out "Ten points!" LOL. ? 7y
mrsamandahood @VioletBramble I love that! That's awesome 😂☺️ 7y
