The Best Nancy Drew book put on my shelf!

Personally, i think that The Crooked Banister was the best Nancy Drew book so far. It was funny, suspensful, and you were always at the end of your chair every minute you are reading this book! Even though i just recently got hit by a car, this book has cured me all of the way.

The Crooked Banister

This book is by Carolyn Keen. It's titled The Crooked Banister. A wonderful mystery waiting to be explored .This book is about a zigzag house and its mysterious features. It will have weird thing happening and sad things appear. Many people try to solve a mystery and get in to HOT water! The main character Rawley lives in this extraordinary house, and he leaves clues to help others figure his house out. Some swindlers during the story try to cheat people out of their money, in frightful ways. Check out this wonderful mystery of suprises! I think this book is very exciting, especially when the moat catches on fire. Also when Nancy finds thousands of dollars hidden in a secret place inside a wall! If you like adventurous and mystery stories I think you should read this book. My opinion of the best part is when, George and Burt slide down the banister. Into a wall where they find a secret passage way where they find some really weird suprises! Some parts of the story are hilarious, especially when the robot comes into action! By doing a little Karate, you know HI-Yah! If you are into funny stories that just take a few days to read, get this book right off the shelf.

Terrifically Interesting: Don't put it down

Nancy really has to have a gallon of ideas to solve this mystery. I think that the house is very neat, but very crazy. I never knew what was going to happen. This should be one of the top ten Nancy Drew books.

Totally awesome!

I have no clue why but this book so has to be my favorite Nancy Drew. It really leads up to an unsuspecting ending which so keeps you in suspense for like the whole book. I totally reccommend it to anyone looking for a good book.

The Best of Nancy Drew

I read this book many years ago, but it still remains one of my favorite mystery books of all time. The story is well told and Nancy as clever as ever. A must read for all young sleuths.
