Review by a fifth-grader

This is a really good Nancy Drew book. It is my favorite one yet. I want to get it for myself. It is not scary or suspenceful in a bad way.

why do they call bess plump??

when i looked at the cover of this i noticed bess.pretty an SLIM she isnt overweight at all!!!!anyway i really loved this book.in this book nancy is asked to find ms.putneys stolen jewlary.nancy also think blackwood hall has something to do with the strange se`ance's occuring telling people to give up their money or their inheiritance.blackwood hall is connected to the mystery and i thought every time nancy went to blackwood hall was scary.you will soon find out that nancy is very brave and clever.the trap that the enemies set for nancy nearly loses her live,but the way nancy solves the mystery of the stolen jewlary and who she stops the emenies into cheating people with a three branch ranch synbol is very exiting!!!!

out of the ordinary

This is a rather unusual Nancy Drew mystery involving seances, hynoptism, and a journey to New Orleans for Nancy, George and Bess. Nancy is attempting to help Mrs. Putney, a woman recently widowed, who, while gullible in some matters, does not completely trust Nancy. The action is non-stop and the plot moves breathlessly and will sweep you up. "The Ghost of Blackwood Hall" is a thriller, and highly recommended.

Best of Carolyne Keene

This book is about swindlers who swindle innocent people by posing to be connected with the spirit world. They hold up seances, and hypnotize women into doing absolutely foolish things which often get their lives in danger.Nancy Drew picks up their trail but these people are far too much clever.But she doesn't lose hope and clears up the mystery at last. This book keeps changing with every chapter with new developments on the case. This book is the best of all the others I have read of this author. A perfectly thrilling mystery.

This had to be the best book I ever read in my life!

This book was very scary. Nancy is searching this old mansion and when they(Nancy,Bess,andGeorge) hear organ playing they look to see a mysterious figure. They try to get a closer look, but then it disappears. It was my absolute favorite!
