The Invisible Intruder

Wow, almost 60 years have passed since I read Nancy Drew, so I spent a day revisiting Nancy and her gang of ghost busters. The Invisible Intruder contains five cases that Nancy and her friends must research and aid the police and assist the landowners in stopping ghost rumors. I thought that this would be a simple reading, but seashells entered into the various jaunts and a thorough description of seashell collecting transpired. I had forgotten the forceful nature of Nancy and her bossy attitude. She runs amok so many times and throws caution to the wind. Luckily for Nancy that her group of friends rescue her from serious consequences. Again, a very enjoyable read that does not contain killing and graphic violence.

Carolyn Keene never fails to deliver an excellent mystery novel in her series of Nancy Drew, super sleuth. I really like how all of her novels follow the same pattern, one would think this could be boring, however, it is satisfying to the reader to know or be able to guess at the events of the novel.
Nancy Drew remains, as always, a terrific protagonist. Her friends, Bess and George, are terrific "sidekicks" with well-developed personalities. I never fail to enjoy these novels, keep producing them!

I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. Anytime my mom and I would go to antique stores, we'd peruse the Nancy Drews and add them to the collection (oftentimes my mom had to make deals with me on how many I could buy). So, while I don't remember the exact details of each and every one, the entire series was amazing and really fed my love for reading (especially novels full of suspense and mystery). Thank you, Carolyn Keene, for giving us an intelligent female character to fall in love with in Nancy Drew!

Nancy and a whole group of her friends are determined to solve a series of ghost mysteries, all of which have appeared suddenly in the same geographic vicinity. They find a tie between the mysteries, and attempts to buy pieces of property at far below their value (a common Nancy Drew theme). It seems that someone with a lot of technical skill has been rigging up a series of "ghosts" and using them to scare people, along with stealing a variety of valuable shells for resale. As Nancy and her friends attempt to evade danger from bombs and fireworks, they rush to track down a gang of increasingly slippery crooks.

This book is about a girl detective who's name is Nancy Drew.
