Nancy Drew 17: Mystery of the Brass-Bound Trunk (Revised)
Nancy Drew 17: Mystery of the Brass-Bound Trunk (Revised) | Carolyn Keene
12 posts | 21 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
From the moment Nancy Drew boards an ocean liner leaving for New York, she becomes involved in a new and dangerous mystery. A man on the pier gestures to someone on board in sign language. BEWARE OF NANCY DREW AND NE, he signals. Who is NE? Can it be Nelda Detweiler, a young woman who shares a cabin with Nancy, Bess, and George? Mystery and intrigue follow the girls across the ocean; but with her usual ingenuity Nancy solves the mystery and defeats her enemies before the ship reaches New York.

repost for @Librarybelle:

March‘s #NancyDrewBR follows Nancy on a trip—if you read the 1940 version, it‘s South America, and the 1976 version is the Netherlands. I think there must be a mystery surrounding a brass-bound trunk…😂

Discussion on March 15th! Please let me know if you would like to be added or removed from the tag list. Can‘t wait to see what amazing skills Nancy has this time, #LittenDetectives !

Sace Dang. I have the later Netherlands version but I want the South American version! *pout* I want to know if the earlier version picks up right after Nancy‘s encore performance in The Clue of the Tapping Heels. I was intrigued that her “client” was a member of the audience. It‘s the first time the next case was more than just a mention. An actual person asked for help. Am I making sense? 4d
Librarybelle You are, @Sace ! And that‘s a good thought. 4d

Another fun, light mystery in the Nancy Drew series and my 6th book for #SeriesRead2022 @TheSpineView

I managed 11 bingo squares this month, which is pretty good for me, but I feel like I was intentionally trying not to get a bingo 😂 Maybe next month! #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

This also filled the Unfogging the Future Prompt for the #OWLsReadingChallenge

tokorowilliamwallace What are all the prompts for the #owlsreadingchallenge? I didn't find a master legend post. I probably would complete it, but it would be fun for mood reading and in thrift shopping! 3y

I haven‘t read a Nancy Drew book in such a long time, and I don‘t remember ever reading this one when I was a kid. Nancy and three friends are sailing from Rotterdam to NYC when Nancy sees someone on the dock signing her name to someone else on board the ship. There‘s a mysterious trunk, stolen jewels, masked intruders - lots of mayhem and fun! Of course Nancy figures everything out in the end. And this book made me chuckle unintentionally...

LauraBrook ... Nancy constantly refers to signing/using sign language as fingering or using the finger language. That makes me think of the Finger Lakes and the SNL Lawrence Welk sketches and Dooneese. I couldn‘t stop laughing! #deweysoct book 6 5y

I thought of this brass-titled Nancy Drew mystery I read years ago. I suppose if you found a brass-bound trunk full of jewelry & documents, you would have #BrassinPocket at least maybe from a reward?😉 Also I once made the Brass-Bound Trunk Candy from The Nancy Drew Cookbook for a book tour review. (Link 👇🏻if you want to see it) but you don‘t want it “in pocket“ as it will melt! 😆

DebinHawaii Link to candy recipe but it was fairly early blogging days so excuse the photos! 😉 https://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2010/11/books-treats-reviews-of-four-fun.htm... 6y

Let‘s call this a pick minus. I enjoyed the sleuthing elements, and the secrets of the trunk. But Nancy just happening to “listen in” on a finger-spelling conversation that mentions her by name, on the dock in Rotterdam? Not so much.

Number 17 down for #nancydrewchallenge (skipping number 18 and the exploding oranges, alternate title to come later).

Nancy gets involved with jewel thieves in a mystery on board an oceanliner. Pure nostalgia for me. I love these books.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Nice pick!! 👊🏻♥️📚 6y
Cinfhen I should try a reread of a Nancy Drew!!! 6y
minkyb I am afraid to reread @Cinfhen because they hold such an important place in my love of reading I would be crushed if they did not hold up. Basically I am a chicken! 😂 6y
Cinfhen I can respect that fear @minkyb sometimes beloved objects from childhood need to remain in childhood 💝nice to “hear” from you😘 6y

I got my first Homemade Decades box (1930s) last week - it was filled with great stuff!
Along with the book sleeve, book, and scrabble tile decoration, there was a Wizard of Oz coloring book and pencils, candy, bracelet, charm keychain, and a cute Madeline tote! Lots and lots of loveliness, I was thrilled to see all of these awesome presents!
Thank you so much, @mrsamandahood !

bitterbear What!!!!!!??????!!!!!! I'm intrigued!! How amazing is this! 8y
LauraBrook @bitterbear It's pretty great! I was amazed at how much stuff (and quality stuff) was in the box, especially for the price. You should check it out! Every box is a different decade. The next one is 1910s! 8y
bitterbear EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Where when how !!! 8y

LauraBrook @bitterbear it's called HomeMade Decades, if you google it it should pop up right away. I'm not positive, but I think our very own @mrsamandahood runs it! 8y
