Summary: Im not saying it's a bad book but....
Review: Ok, i have to admit that this book wasn't as good as people told me it was. i'm not saying anybody shouldn't read it but well once you start the book it's REALLY boring.this wasn't the most suspenceful books either. it only got good at the end. i would have to say don't buy this book, rent it first from a library and see if you like it.

Summary: Alright, But Not One Of The Best
Review: This review concerns the original 1950 edition as well as the revised 1967 edition which is similar to the original, only it is shorter. A friend of Mr. Drew's from Boston, Capt. Easterly, is hoping to buy the ship on which he is currently living. However, the owner doesn't have a clear title to the ship and is unable to sell it. Capt. Easterly asks Mr. Drew to look into the matter since no record of the previous owners can be found. Also, mysterious prowlers have been on board the ship, apparently looking for something. Nancy, Mr. Drew and, later, Bess and George go to Boston to help solve the mysteries. This book is alright, it is written fairly well, the mystery is somewhat interesting and there is some action. However, it is not among my favorite books of the series. I found that many times it was by random circumstance that Nancy picked up important clues. For example, they take the boat out of Boston Harbor and sail to an arbitrarily picked cove. While in a village on the cove, Nancy gets important clues to the real name of the ship and to the location of its lost figurehead. The book is worth reading, but I don't think that too many fans will count this one among their top 5 favorites.

Summary: Wow! I liked this one!
Review: This time Nancy is asked to solve a case to help Captain Easterly uncover the mysterious ghostly prowlers that has been having. Nancy, Bess and George set out on the ship and take residence on it as they try to solve the mystery. They try to help Captain Easterly find the old, wooden lady that used to go in the front of his boat. The girls try to find information about the wooden lady, but nothing is under the Bonny Scot's name. Going deeper they find out that there is a treausre on-board and the prowlers want it! Hopefully they will find it before the visitors do! This by far is my favorite book! I really liked this one. It was exciting in a lot of parts and I like stories about pirate treasure! Carolyn Keene did a good job on this one. Bravo!
