The “new” version set in Florida was such a mess that I had to hunt down the original. It arrived today and why did no one tell me the originals had end papers?!?!? #nancydrewbr

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 1d
Librarybelle Wow!! 1d
TheKidUpstairs I collect the old yellow covers, and I have a couple of these originals with the blue-ish covers and dust jackets. They are just so beautiful! I love the different end papers! 1d
TheBookHippie Some are really cool! 1d

3✨ I thought this was pretty interesting that Nancy was helping to solve coded messages. She has close encounters with dangerous wild animals, and tear gas. Then her boyfriend‘s mom is trying to convince her to talk to her dad about buying the house next door to them. 🤣 #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

lauraisntwilder I've been so busy lately I haven't read the last two -- and they're the last ones I own. My library system doesn't have any this far into the series, so I think I'm going to bow out. I still hope to read 17 & 18 this month. 🤞 Thank you SO MUCH for doing this. I've really enjoyed it! 4d
Librarybelle Of course, @lauraisntwilder ! Thanks for taking part! 4d

#NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle
A car accident that goes nowhere. Exploding oranges meant to be planted “in strategic spots“ at the Kennedy Space Center. 😳 Horrible house hosts at an orange grove farm. A tour-travelogue-like press release of the space center and museum. Tear gas in Nancy and her friend's faces at a photo-op. Ned & Nancy almost drowning in a vat of boiling water. Way. Too. Much. Going. On. And too over-the-top for me. On to book 19!

Librarybelle So much in this one! 1w

I enjoyed reading the revised series when I was in elementary school. I did not come even close to reading them all, but enough to have a genuine love for Nancy and her friends. Reading these with the #NancyDrewBR is really fun, but if you just want to read the “good” mysteries skip this one. It was choppy, and needed some more editing imo.
My favorite line from this caper -
George: Bess, you‘re the heroine of the occasion!

Librarybelle That was a good line! And, I‘m so enjoying these with the group—it makes these so much fun! 1w

It‘s time for our discussion, #LittenDetectives ! I have 6 questions as spoilers posted. You can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching #NancyDrewBR . This one was a bit of a hot mess in my opinion, but I just love reading these with you!!

I‘ll post the official graphic for next month‘s book, The Quest for the Missing Map, tomorrow. Not many variations between the editions this time!

robinb Nancy Drew, a hot mess?! Oh, the horror! 😂 1w

6. Circling back to the adventures in the books...adult critics for the 1971 edition indicate Nancy's near-death experience in the pool as atypical of the stories. Some of you have also commented on the James Bond-esque escapades of Nancy. I did not read this one as a kid, so I'm not sure if I would have been awed or petrified (like Bess) at what Nancy experiences. Any thoughts? A favorite adventure in the book to share? #NancyDrewBR

DebinHawaii I‘m pretty sure I didn‘t read this in my youth as I remembered nothing about it. I pulled out a lot of favorites in my review especially the Austin Powers vibe, but still go back to the “spa” pool of boiling water (just why?) 🤨 & Ned disarming the “beamer” but saying NASA had better check it—it just made me laugh & roll my eyes! 👀 But I guess Nancy needs a man who has random talents for disarming things like her Dad & his bombs! 😂 (edited) 1w
DebinHawaii I remain disappointed there were no sharks with laser beams attached to their heads. A miss by the author in my mind! 😂 1w
DGRachel @DebinHawaii Sharks! 🤣🤣🤣 The boiling water thing - I finished the book and turned to my mom to demand those two hours of my life back, giving her a list of the weirdest things, including Nancy and Ned nearly being boiled like lobsters, and she just stared at me like I‘d lost my mind. Even she couldn‘t believe everything that was shoved into 177 pages. 1w

CogsOfEncouragement My favorite line from this mystery is after Nancy's friends get the leopard into the garage, and Bess runs off. She comes back with a tranquilizer pill in a piece of meat which they throw into the garage and the big cat happily eats.

George says: Bess, you're the heroine of the occasion!

I will certainly be working this into my everyday lingo (and no one will get the reference).

MariaW How can the pool and the near death experience be atypical for a ND story? I remember coming across at least one in each novel… 🤔🤔🤔 I cannot say I have a favourite adventure, but the a list if weird ones: the car accident, the near plane crash and the stolen / rental car. 🤦‍♀️ (edited) 1w
Ruthiella I loved how Ned and Nancy stealthily hide on the top of the van to sneak in to the mansion compound. 👍 1w
dabbe Observations and Suspension of Disbelief:
1. Dad, will you buy me a house on Merritt Island next to dangerous animals?
2. Almost a #NNK when Clumsy fingers throws oranges at her.
3. Best Hannah line: “I suppose [The Resardos] won't show up until dinner is ready.“
4. The first time I recall someone NOT giving Nancy someone's address, phone #, hotel # ... (the postman won't give Nancy the Webster's address).
5. The maritime history lesson ⬇️
1w
dabbe we get from Nancy and her dad. They must have taken a course at some point. 🙄
6. Bud the pilot with his 70s lingo, fearing his girlfriend would think he “fazed her out.“
7. And of course the I-expect-you-to-die-Mr.-Bond aspect of the boiling water so that Fortin could “dispose of intruders in case his animals didn't get them.“

Nice.

DGRachel @dabbe I was shocked when that guy wouldn‘t given Nancy the name and address! What? Privacy policies? In a Nancy Drew book? But she‘s so clearly trustworthy! 🤣🤣🤣 1w
dabbe @DGRachel IKR? 🤣🤩😍 1w
Roary47 @DGRachel @dabbe At least there was a girl near her that happened to know the owners. 🤣🤣 4d

kwmg40 Like @CogsOfEncouragement, I loved it when Bess showed up with the spiked piece of meat! 4d
Librarybelle I loved that line, @CogsOfEncouragement ! Thanks for taking the wild ride this time! Let‘s hope the story line for next month is a bit more less “out there!” @DebinHawaii @DGRachel @MariaW @Ruthiella @dabbe @Roary47 @kwmg40 1d
Ruthiella @Librarybelle If there‘s anything less than a meteor in subsequent books, I‘m going to be disappointed! 😂 (edited) 1d
Librarybelle @Ruthiella 😂 So true! 1d
