Nancy,Bess,and George are on another mystery ahead but this time one mystery leads to another and another. This book is very exciting and it will keep you thinking for hours but it's confosing. Cofosing yes boring NO.There are a lot a stuff happening all at once for that reson you migth have to read a sentece more than once.I often hound myself reading a sentece four times or more.But there is no dowtthat you will be intertain for hours.I loved this book for hours it wouldn't let me put it down.Every it seemed like nothing would happen if you kept reading they would find somthing else out and before you knew it you have you hooked again.But if you have like mysteries it will keep you thinkingfor hours.

My Hero

Everyone can laugh, but Nancy Drew was my childhood hero, roll model, and favorite Diva! A housekeeper mother figure and a lawyer father help Nancy enjoy the freedom to help others with mysterious dilemas. This book was my favorite of the yellow bound series. The older books pre 1980 are the best of the series. Very wholesome reads for preteens. Nancy and her two best girl friends, Bess and George, use their wit and imaginations to solve mysteries and disappearances in a non violent world. I highly recommend anything Nancy Drew.

enticing title, suspenseful book

"The Clue in the Crumbling Wall" features Nancy, Bess, and George on the trail of another exciting mystery. Danger surrounds them as they are trapped in the cloister of Heath Castle, while on the trail of Juliana Johnson, a talented dancer, who disappeared several years ago. There is one scene that could frighten very young readers, as Nancy and her faithful housekeeper, Hannah Gruen, are tied up in their own home. Resourceful Nancy finds a way to escape and to free Hannah, and sets off on a re-invigorated search for the criminals. River Heights, Nancy's hometown, is the scene of this mystery, and as usual, Nancy, her father Carson Drew, and her chums, cousins Bess and George use common sense as well as a little uncommon intuition to solve the mystery and to bring a happy ending to the victims.

The Clue in the Crumbling Wall

The Clue In the Crumbling Wall, a Nancy Drew mystery, was one of the best books I read in fourth grade. When I started reading this outstanding book I couldn't stop because visions formed in my mind. It was so descriptive and creative. Also, the author used similes, metaphors, hyperboles and personification. I was amazed at how realistic it was. This story is even descriptive enough to be able to be read more than once. I definitely loved reading The Clue of the Crumbling Wall because everything came to life and this is only one of the very many other great Nancy Drews I read. The story is about, smart as a genius, Nancy Drew, the main hero in the book. Her friends, cautious Bess, curious George, and of course her caring father. They have to find the missing dancer, Juliana. They also go through hard times, being traped, and much more. They find tons of treasures including a huge one. I recommend this excellent book to people who love adventures, turning points and surprises. I enjoyed this book very much.

This is a great mystery that will leave you in suspense.

Out of all of the Nancy Drew mystery series this is one of the best. This book is erie and full of suspense and will never turn out to be the person you thought it would be.I recommend this book to anyone that wants to read a good oldfashioned mystery.
