Summary: Nancy and pals sleuthing in France
Review: "The Mystery of the 99 Steps" finds Nancy, her father Carson Drew, and her friends Bess and George on a trip to France. In between touring Notre Dame Cathedral and learning about the patron saint of France, Joan of Arc, the girls stay on the trail of a mystery. Several times Nancy is warned by srange characters to stop her investigations, but she persists and is rewarded by uncovering a blackmail scheme involving one of her father's clients, wealthy financier Monsieur LeBlanc. Carolyn Keene found the right formula many years ago to thrill young readers, and to secure their loyalty as lifelong fans. Courageous, resourceful Nancy charms successive generations. Highly recommended.

Summary: Nancy Drew
Review: A woman has a recurring dream. She is standing at the top of a flight of stairs, blindfolded, and next to her some one is whispering, '99 steps. 99 steps.' Nancy begins investigations, and is promptly threatened. That doesn't stop her from going to France, however. Alchemy, dreams, threats, and a mysterious past make this one of the most Gothic and memorable of Nancy's adventures. (P.S. This is a great one to read if you want to forget that you have a cold or something. I read it when I had hives and it was a life-saver.)

Summary: Nancy Drew
Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling is a great book because of its twist. I?m not going to tell what the ending is because you?ll have to read it. I like this book because its addictive. It makes you keep reading and reading until you finish the book. I am going to tell you about the twist. First Siars Black escapes from Azkaban, which is a jail for wizards. So Dementors surround Hogwart so nobody gets hurt. Finally, Potter meets Black. To find out the rest, read the book. The moral of the stories is not to be afraid take on anything. I hope you read this book.

Summary: Truly Boring
Review: Nancy, Bess George and Mr. Drew fly off to France to work on a couple of cases. First, a wealthy financier, Monsieur Leblanc, has been frightened into selling large amounts of stocks and bonds and Mr. Drew has been hired by some Leblanc's associates to discover what has frightened the man so much. Second, Nancy has been asked by a Frenchwoman living in River Heights to unlock the secret of a dream she keeps having where she is blindfolded and about to fall down a flight of steps with someone whispering "99 steps". The dream actually happened to the woman when she was a child growing up in France, but she doesn't remember where the 99 steps are located. This is another tour guide with Nancy and her friends going to Notre Dame, the Louvre, Versailles and stopping in Orleans to learn about Joan Of Arc. Somewhere amongst all of this touring, Nancy manages to find time to solve the mystery; unfortunately, it's not before the book manages to bore you to tears. The mystery is pathetic and dull and the book has very little suspence and action. I'm getting bored just thinking about the book as I write this review. Don't waste your time on this book, it's not worth it.
