Customer Reviews

Great read for early readers!!

My daughter is just finishing first grade and is really beginning to love Nancy Drew. She really enjoyed this book and is already asking for more!! It also helps that it is an Accelerated Reader program!

Who is trying to ruin the big recital?

Put on your pink tights, black leotards, toe shoes and get ready to pirouette your way to a smashing solution of one of eight-year-old Nancy Drew's most entertaining mysteries! Set against the backdrop of Madame Dugrand's dance studio, Nancy and all her girlfriends are ready for the big night! That is, until the music for their special performance goes missing. Could it be the janitor, who is mad because the recital is causing him so much extra work? Or could it be one of the girls? Nancy has a mere two days to crack the case of Bad Day for Ballet, and her fans will adore following along!

Elizabeth's Review

I am seven years old. I like this book because it is really neat. I would have to say this book is a best book's I have read. The author did a great job on the book. The book is about a girl named Nancy. Nancy has a big mission. Nancy looks for the tape. Does Nancy find the tape or does her friend get blamed? Nancy Drew books are my favorite books. Nancy Drew books are the best books. (I would have to say) THE END

Series Review

In the series Nancy Drew Notebooks by Carolyn Keene, the main character Nancy Drew is always solving mysteries. For example, in the book Nancy Drew and the Sandcastle Mystery, Nancy, Bess and George are wondering who smashed their building. And they built it for a contest. My favorite Nancy Drew book is Bad Day for Ballet because I used to take ballet and it's very fun to do. I'm not going to give the ending away because I want you to find out what happened and if it turns out to be a real bad day for ballet. What I enjoy about the series is the mysteries and characters. I think people who should read this series are people who like very fun mysteries. Also you might want a notebook like Nancy Drew. She writes whatever happens. And I also have a notebook like Nancy Drew. Whenever I read the Nancy Drew series, I feel like a detective too! By Stephanie N.
