Summary: One of the best in the series!
Review: For all the teenage girls out there who are looking for a good read, but think Nancy Drew is just a little too old, you are TOTALLY wrong.I started reading Nancy Drew when I was seven, and I still love them (I'm 13 now.)This book, especially is really exciting, it takes place on a ranch and the adventure is continuos.You will find yourself on the edge of your seat whispering, "Hurry, Nancy, he'll find you!"the overall plot of the story if fantastic, and, like all of Keene's books, it's really worth reading! I would suggest this book to everyone, no matter theyre age or sex.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Kind of boring, but not completely bad...
Review: I read the 1931 version. This book is signifigant because it introduces Bess and George, but otherwise it's sort of boring. It was written more like the western adventure books that were being written at the time rather than Nancy Drew mystery story for the most part, but it was still okay, and well written, at least.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Secret Of Shadow Ranch
Review: When you first read, Boy, by Roald Daul you will notice that it is an autobiography. You will read about life history, persistence and risk taking.
Roald Daul was born in 1916 in Norway. He was brought up by his mother with 5 other brothers and sisters. Roald was a very persistent and risky person. He loves to have fun and is always stirring up trouble.
There were many incidents in Roalds life. There are just a few that were important. One mid-spring day Roald and a few friends found a loose board in their school classroom. They opened the board and found a dead mouse. They decided to play a wretched trick on the candy storeowner Mrs. Prattchett. So they brought the mouse in to the store and snuck it into a candy jar and left. The next day they walked passed and it was closed with the candy jar broken on the floor. After that they raced to school and were told to go outside. All of a sudden Mrs. Prattchett was on her way to find the boys who played the joke. She found them and they were brought to be smacked on the butt for doing that awful trick.
Another life event was when Roald almost lost his nose. His family had just gotten a new car and his sister had been practicing to drive. Now you have to know that back then, you didn't have to have your driver's license because not very many people had cars. So, his sister was driving the whole family out in the country when all of a sudden there was a sharp turn. Well, she had practiced turns so they went flying into the bushes. After they had stopped Roald sat up and his nose was half way off. Everyone started to panic. They finally turned around and rushed to the doctor's house. When they got there he told them to go home and he'd be there in and hour. When he got there the doctor put Roald under anesthesia and sewed him up.
Through Roalds life he was move to several public and private English schools. When he was about to go into college but decided not to go to college. So what did he do with his life, you'll have to read the book and find out. If you like funny life stories and autobiographies Boy, by Roald Daul This is the perfect book for you.
