Summary: Outstading Page Turner
Review: I really enjoyed this book because it was a very exciting mystery. I had a hard time putting it down. It had an amazing outline to it. I still have a hard time believing that one person could think of a story like this one.
One of the main characters was named Nancy Drew. I liked her a lot. She was the one, with some help from her friends, who solved the mystery. She never gave up, even if she ran out of ideas to solve the mystery. Nancy always kept going. That is the main reason I liked her.
I think the best part of this book is when Nancy Drew and her friends figure out who is doing the crime and why. You will never guess who it is.
The ending of this book was very exciting to me. It was amazing how it all tied together at the end. The ending was also a little disappointing. The story stoped at a bad place. Even though the mystery was over I wish it would have kept going for a little more longer.
I personally think that anyone who is interested in a great mystery story should try this book. I am glad I did.

Summary: The Scarlet Slipper Mystery
Review: If you like Nancy Drew and dancing,this book is definitely for you! Even if you don't like dancing or ballet, it is awesome!It is a can't-put-it-down book, like most of the Nancy Drew Mysteries.There are some clues and suspects that don't mix and it's hard to try to figure it out on your own. This book is really good and I really reccomend it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not Bad, But It Could Be More Exciting
Review: This review concerns the original 1954 edition as well as the revised 1974 edition. Nancy meets Henri and Helene Fontaine, who have fled from their home country of Centrovia and now run a dance school in River Heights. Now the Fontaines are being threatened and fear for their lives. Nancy is determined to find to find out who is threatening the Fontaines and why. This book is alright. The mystery is okay and there is a bit of action. One thing that I did enjoy about the book was that at the end, Nancy participated in capturing the criminals. She may not have physically done it, but at least she was present, unlike in so many of the books were you get an ending like "As Nancy arrived the police were putting handcuffs on so-and-so" or "Two hours later the police called and said that the suspects had been arrested". How exciting is that? It's not!!! The book could have been a little more exciting, however, and it never really held my attention throughout. The book is worth reading, but it isn't one of my favourites.
