Summary: Great Book!
Review: After I bought the starter set that included the first six, I had to buy this one, because I wanted to start my own colection. This was probably the best out of the first seven to be honest. It's more complex than the others and I just love a good mystery. Buy it today!

Summary: One of my favorite books from the Nancy Drew series!
Review: I have always loved the Nancy Drew series. Nancy Drew was always my favorite heroine. She always seemed to be in just the right place at the right time. Always was there to help someone in need. And always seemed to know everything. At least once in every book Nancy got herself into some kind of tight spot but somehow she always got herself out of it.
I really liked this particular book from the series because this is the book in which Nancy meets Ned.
Nancy and her chums, Bess and George, are taking a drive in the country. On their way they pass by a beautiful home. Then suddenly the house explodes into flames. Nancy, Bess and George, thinking some people might be inside the house, stop to see if they could save them. When they arrive, they soon find out that no one was there. But, while searching the grounds, Nancy discovers a diary.
Nancy doesn't know it then but that diary will bring an adventure both for her and all readers. I have read this book more than once and each time it always seemed like I was reading it for the first time. I love this book and all the Nancy Drew books. No one, either young or old, should go without reading this book.

Summary: Dated Classic
Review: If you want to get started reading Nancy Drew, this book would be the place. Of all the ND series, I think I enjoyed this one the most. While Nancy and her friends' activities and dialogue seem a bit dated (don't forget most of these stories were written long before you were born) Nancy is a wholesome character who is constantly busy observing her environment and sticking her nose into places it may not belong. Of course, this kind of behavior is what makes a story interesting. This book deals with arson, stealing patents, and helping an innocence victim find justice.Wild bill recommends this book for mystery lovers aged 9-12.

Summary: this book is great!
Review: Meet Nancy Drew, an eighteen year old amateur detective who battles cases against crooks who elude FBI agents for months, but Nancy for only a few weeks. She is truly a wonder! Nancy and her friends, George, a tomboy, and Bess, a food loving, girly-girl, come together to create the toughest team of detectives, in my point of view, in the U.S.. In this book, Carolyn Keene has weaved a story of suspence that will keep you on your toes, solving the mystery right along with Nancy. Here she uncovers the story of an innocent man, thought to be guilty, and she battles her way through a tough story of crime and truth, as well as experiencing a little romance of her own.

Summary: One of the BEST mystery stories I have ever read
Review: The story is about a teenage sleuth called Nancy Drew who is reputed in solving mysteries. It is amazing the way she takes risks and follows up clues with the help of her friends. Sometimes she lands up in very tight spots but manages to get out of them with great ease. Her friends help her along the way. This book is very well written. The story moves fast without unnecessary details. There is thrilling action and adventure, and the suspense continues throughout the story. The characters have also been well depicted. There are a lot of other books in this series that I like. All of the books are very popular. They are very interesting and entertaining and I enjoy reading them more than any other books. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery and adventure

Summary: Have You read The Clue in the diary yet?
Review: This review concerns the original 1932 edition and the revised edition published in the 1960's. Both books follow the same plot; although, the revised edition is slightly different from the original. While returning from a carnival, Nancy, George and Bess witness a large home suddenly burst into flames. Thinking that there may be someone trapped inside, the girls rush to the house to help. They are unable to enter the home because of the heat, but Nancy spots a man running away from the house and later finds a diary, written in Swedish, which contains numerous technical drawings. Did the man start the fire? Does the diary belong to him? And what became of Felix Raybolt, the owner if the home, who apparently has gone missing? Clues lead Nancy to suspect that the diary belongs to the husband of a poor woman that Nancy met at the carnival along with her little girl. Nancy becomes determined to prove that Joe Swenson didn't start the fire, but all of the clues she uncovers seem to suggest that he is guilty. Personally, I didn't find this book very good; there isn't much action, the mystery isn't very exciting and the book really lacks a true criminal. Thankfully, the writing style used in the book is rather enjoyable, so it keeps the book from being a complete waste of time. One thing to note about this book is that this is the volume where Nancy meets Ned Nickerson and oddly enough her first thought of him is that he is trying to steal her car! This book is worth reading for the writing, but its not likely that many fans of Nancy Drew will find this book to be one of their favorites.

Summary: The Clue in the Diary
Review: This story is about an 18-year-old girl named Nancy Drew who likes to solve mysteries. She usually solves her mysteries with her two best friends, Bess Marvin, a girl who loves to eat and George Fayne, a tomboy. While Nancy, George, and Bess were returning from a country carnival, they saw an explosion of a beautiful country mansion. Nancy and her friends were worried that people might be trapped in the mansion, so they went in to save them. While they were in the mansion, they found a diary lying on the floor. Nancy and her friends brought the diary home and found themselves a new mystery for them to solve. They're first clue was a diary. Its entries were in a writing that is very hard for them to decipher. There were also technical drawings and chemical formulas that were contained in the diary's pages. Would they solve the mystery? The question was answered when Nancy found out whom the diary belongs to.

I liked the Nancy Drew book The Clue in the Diary because it was a little slow in the begining but then got gradually into a real page turning book. I would stay up till 11:00 pm just reading this book it was so good. It really taught you the lesson what goes around comes around. I really reccomend this wonderful mystery to all!
