3. Nancy and her friends experience a few adventures in this one - the most intense for me was the road rage episode!

Are there any “danger“ aspects that stick out for you?

Note for those keeping track of the bumps on the head: While we did not have a #NancyNogginKnockout , Nancy was slapped in the face!

BarkingMadRead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 definitely less danger, and that road rage incident was super scary! Yikes! 5d
Bookwormjillk This one was danger lite. I agree the scene with the truck on the bridge was most intense. I don't think she even got tied up in this one did she? (edited) 5d
DGRachel The road rage was terrifying, I think because it‘s the event that seems most “real” of her adventures. 5d

dabbe @DGRachel Especially because it seems to happen a lot these days, too! 😱 5d
Ruthiella I was expecting the road rage incident to somehow tie into the rest of the story because it usually does, but it didn‘t. 😂 Honestly, the slap surprised me the most. That‘s assault! 😱 5d
CogsOfEncouragement @Bookwormjillk I literally had the thought “huh, Nancy didn't get tied up in this one“ LOL

Nancy sure kept her composure after being slapped too. Another one of her skills and talents to be sure.
5d
AmandaBlaze I agree with @Ruthuella. I expected more to come from the truck incident. It was scary, though, especially when they came to the bridge. 5d
kspenmoll The road rage incident gave a contemporary feel to the novel! It seemed like it was intended to demonstrate Nancy‘s patience, & her ability to keep a clear head in the face of danger. 5d
mrp27 Agree with many others in thinking the road rage incident would figure into the plot. Also agree that the slap was startling, it took me by surprise. (edited) 5d
lauraisntwilder @Ruthiella Yes, exactly! I was sure that truck driver was going to show up again with the "bad guy." 5d
AnneCecilie The road rage incident was scary, and as others have already said because it‘s the most “real” of her accidents. I also excepted more to come of it in the story later 22h

Nancy will always be a pick for me. My only disappointment was that Nancy didn‘t get conked on the head, trapped or bound and gagged. 😆

#NancyDrewBR

Ruthiella Out of context, that sentence would raise an eyebrow or two! 😂 3w
Sace @Ruthiella Right? I even debated whether to include it or not! 😂 2w
Librarybelle Oh boy! That makes two in a row that there is no #NancyNogginKnockout ! 2w

Sace @Librarybelle you know, I almost marked this with a spoiler. Since everyone is keeping a close watch on The knockouts and it adds to the experience I didn‘t know if people just wanted to find out for themselves if her noggin got knocked or not 😆 2w
Librarybelle @Sace You‘re totally fine! 😂 It‘s definitely a joke from the last few books…not a spoiler! 2w
Amiable @Librarybelle OMG, I am totally in love with that hashtag. 😄😂 2w
Librarybelle @Amiable It‘s hilarious! @DebinHawaii came up with it! 2w
dabbe No conking on the head! That makes 2/7 books where her head is safe, right? 🤩😂😀 2w

#LittenDetectives : we‘re two weeks away from our next #NancyDrewBR discussion! Dare I say Nancy will find a clue in the diary???

Discussion questions posted on May 15th!

TheAromaofBooks But will she do it without getting bopped on the head??? 😂 3w
DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks Maybe the diary is on a shelf and the baddie pushes the shelf onto her and it knocks her out? 😂 I can‘t wait to find out! I picked up my library hold yesterday and will tuck in as soon as I finish my current read. 3w
TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel - I feel like instead of “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover“ maybe we need a theme song along the lines of “50 Ways to Get a Concussion You Ignore“ ??? 😂 😂 😂 3w

DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks Or “Concussion Time” set to “Hammer Time” “da da da da…da da…da da concussion time…break her head now” 🤣🤣 3w
Librarybelle @DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks What will the #NancyNogginKnockout count be this month? We didn‘t have any last month, so we are due for some #NNK action! 3w
DGRachel And now I shall spend the rest of my day altering songs to fit Nancy Drew. 3w
Librarybelle @DGRachel A worthy pastime! 😂 3w
TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel - oh my gosh, Concussion Time is PERFECT 😂 3w
BarkingMadRead I‘m ready!!! 3w
lauraisntwilder The cover on my copy is WILD. I can't wait to see how this image could possibly make sense. 😂 3w
bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel Concussion Time gave me a good laugh this morning! 3w
bookandbedandtea @lauraisntwilder I'm eager to see which copy you have! 3w
Ruthiella Looking forward to this! 👍 3w
lauraisntwilder @bookandbedandtea It's just the yellow Grosset & Dunlap hardcover, but Nancy has her arms in the air in front of a burning house and there's a boy/man hiding in the bushes in front of her. And, I can't explain it, but it looks like it was drawn by multiple people, like, the pieces don't match? 3w
lauraisntwilder @bookandbedandtea I just saw your post -- it's the same as yours, but mine is glossy. 3w
Deblovestoread Hope to get this one read earlier in the month this time. 😁 3w
bookandbedandtea @lauraisntwilder Ah yes, the proportions are definitely off in this picture! There's no depth. Looks like something I'd draw. 🙃 3w
Bookwormjillk @lauraisntwilder mine too 🔥🔥🔥 3w
julieclair Fun! 3w

#ReadAway2024 #AwesomeApril #readathon #SeriesLove

Read along with @TheAromaofBooks & some friends for a book a month Trixie Belden readalong (we need a hashtag!) It‘s been a few years since I reread the series & this first book which sets it up with Trixie meeting poor-little-rich teen Honey Wheeler & them discovering runaway Jim Frayne hiding in the old mansion. I forgot Brian & Mart (Trixie‘s brothers) are away working at a boys camp for ⬇️

DebinHawaii … the summer so we don‘t get to meet them yet. The first book mainly sets the stage for coming books, although shades of Nancy Drew (& my #NancyNogginKnockout counter or #NNK ) both Trixie & Jim got hit on the head from a dive & a ladder fall respectively!! 🫣🤕 Gleeos! Looking forward to book 2 next month! (edited) 3w
Ruthiella Two concussions in one book!?!? Watch out Nancy! 😂 3w
TheAromaofBooks We definitely need a hashtag! I'm open to suggestions. Something with Bobwhite? 3w
TheSpineView Well done! 3w
DieAReader 🥳Great! 3w
