Keep your eyes open you never know what could happen! Nancy Drew : The mysterious mannequin


Nancy Drew: The mysterious mannequin (1997)
Kenne, Carolyn 
Mystery
Disclaimers: None
Rating 9/10




     Nancy Drew is at it again!  One day in the mail Nancy dad  receives a Turkish rug.  He does not know what it is for or whom it is from.  But, Nancy  soon's finds  out that the rug has a mystery in it! She soon's finds out that this rug is linked to a Turkish mannequin but what is so important about this mannequin that everybody wants to find it?


   As the book goes on it shows that if you are welling to work hard to find something out that you are willing to work hard to find it you can always find out what the problem is. There are many times in the book when people try to scare away Nancy from solving the mystery but she never gives up she is always trying to solve the mystery. 


     The mysterious mannequin is a book that I always found me on the edge of my seat.  I never wanted to put it down.  But, it still has a very humorous plot that makes you crack a smile while you are reading it.  Kenne uses a third person omniscient narrator for this book which I really liked because, it felt as if you were actually walking through Turkey with Nancy Drew and her friends to solve this mystery. 


     The mysterious mannequin is defiantly a late elementary book to read.  Because, of the mystery that they try to solve it would defiantly make it hard for the child that is reading this book to put it down.  But it also a easy read to read as well if you are looking for a fast and entertaining book to read. 


     I feel like the mysterious mannequin is a awesome book to read.  I never found myself wanting to put the book down even when I had to because, I had to go somewhere.  I also recommend it to someone who is looking for a fast and entertaining book to read.  Cathrine Cavin said "I chose this book because I love mystery books and I really love Nancy Drew Books.A summary of the book is ....Farock sends a rug with a hidden message in it to Carson Drew.Nancy Drew decides to make it a case and find out what it says. The rug wanted Carson Drew to come to Istanbul,with Farock's manniquin. Nancy Drew finds this out and takes Her father,Ned(her boyfriend),Bess and George(cousins),Dave and Burt ( there boyfriends),and Aisha (Farocks lover)to Istanbul to find Farock.
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE ENDING!!"  A customer on amazon said "The story starts when Mr. Drew recieves a rug from Istanbul. There is a secret message woven into it and tells him to find a mannequin of his because he loves her. Of course Nancy sets out to find it. It had such an awesome ending. I will let you find out what it is though."

watch your back anything could happen!:Nancy Drew The invisible intruder.



























Nancy Drew: The invisible intruder (1997)
Keene,Carolyn
Mystery 
Disclaimers: none
Rating:9/10




        Nancy Drew is a curious young women, her father is a lawyer and tells her about weird and spooky things that have been going on close by.  In this book there is a "ghost" that has been scaring away guests at many hotels around town.  The word of the ghost gets around and it is starting to scare away customers and the hotel rooms are staring to run out of business.  After Nancy has learned about this her and her friends decide to go and solve this mystery!  


        As Nancy and her friends try to figure out this mystery, they also discover that everything that people say is not always true.  As the book goes on they are constantly finding out that they have been lied to about  many different things.


        The invisible intruder is a very suspenseful book.  But, still giving it a humorous plot line. It feels as if you were there with them and the "ghost" was breathing on your neck Keene describes everything in the book so well!  Keene uses a third person omniscient narrator.  Which I really liked because, like I said before it felt like you were actually in the book! I also liked it because, it explained more to me how the characters were felling in the book.


        The invisible intruder is a late elementary level book.  The book is a easy read ( for a Jr.High student or a High school student) and does not take very long to read.  I would highly suggest that if you are looking for a easy book to read I suggest that you read this book!


       I think that The invisible intruder is a really good book to read.  I never found myself wanting to put this book down.  I always wanted to know what would happen next and who this invisible intruder was.  Even with the recommended reading age for this book.  A customer who bought this book on amazon said "In this book, there was a lot of action and suspense. It was exciting and interesting. It was the first Nancy Drew Book I read,and it made me want to read more. The Invisible Intruder was something you would have never guessed."  A kids review said "In this astounding series of Nancy Drew the Invisible Intruder is one book that will keep you on your tip-toes. In this story Nancy and her friends go on a ghost hunt to look into five different haunted houses. At first they encounter a supposely haunted canoe that propels itself through Lake Savenee.In the end Nancy captures the invisible intruder in the fantastic room of skulls in the last house. I really loved this book not once did I get bored."
