Summary: Nancy's car
Review: Nancy finds mystery in every thing she does. That's only one of the draws that kept children as well as adults reading the tales of our heroine well into the millennium. Author Mildred Wirst Benson died at the age of 96 this past week. She leaves behind a legacy of mysteries and a strong female character for the changing times.

Nancy flies into Scotland on family business with her dad and friends, Bess and George. She is in search of a Morgan family heirloom that is missing. There is plenty of excitement, danger, and lots of mystery as she hunts for more than just an heirloom.

Nancy exudes strength of character and an independency that rang out long before it was politically correct. This author was a woman with ideas that reached far beyond her time. She leaves behind a series that will live on long into the future. Kelsana 6/2/02

Summary: A Ridiculously Written Piece Of Garbage
Review: Nancy, Bess, George and Mr. Drew go to Scotland so that Nancy can find a valuable heirloom that was to be given to her by her great-grandmother, but is now missing. Also, Nancy investigates a gang that is stealing sheep. This is one of the dumbest written books in this series. To start with, Bess submits a photo of Nancy, with a magnifying glass looking at some footprints, to a photography magazine contest and wins first prize. Please! Out of all of the entries that would be received for this type of contest a picture of Nancy wins first prize. You've got to be joking. Second, the winning photo gets published in the magazine and for the rest of the book, people, not only in the River Heights, but in Scotland as well, are recognizing Nancy from the photo. Come on! This is a photography magazine. Only people seriously interested in photography would be seeing this picture, not the whole world. Also, the heirloom that Nancy was supposed to receive was her great-grandmother's most prized possession, if that's the case why wouldn't the great-grandmother give it to someone to whom she is closer, instead of Nancy whom she's never met. It makes no sense. If Nancy has been able to fly off everwhere else, why hasn't she been able to see her great-grandmother before this. The mystery is just boring and unsuspenceful and comes complete with the usual "exciting" warning received by the end of the second chapter. Anyone with half a brain could have written this piece of trash. It's a waste of time.

They love the scenery there, but there are some realy odd things there, and odd people. One guy tries to run them off the road. Somewon ells tries to push George off of a cliff. What was at first a trip to relaxs and to have fun had turned into a trip for solveing a mystery. Nancy ,Bess and George figure out who has caused these things to happen and who took the heirloom. You will never guess who it is!!
