Jul 31, John Yelverton rated it it was amazing. Yet another excellent addition to the Nancy Drew mystery book series. Dec 10, Tabi34 rated it really liked it Shelves: I've slowed my quest of reading all of the original Nancy Drew books to a crawl. While these were probably exciting to pre-teens in the '60s and '70s, they're quite predictable to this jaded cynical adult. I do get really excited when there is some romantic progression.
In this book Aunt Eloise is introduced to Matt. Burt's uncle and a professor at Emerson University. They seem to hit it off quite well, but beyond overhearing Matt asking Eloise for a date later, that's the extent of it. I wonder I've slowed my quest of reading all of the original Nancy Drew books to a crawl.
I wonder if he'll pop up again. This one had some danger, but Nancy always manages to survive relatively unscathed. There is a local character who loves folk legends about ghosts and there are a couple of old tales in the book. It is interesting hearing about the possible scientific discoveries - in this one Matt discusses how scientists are working on discovering how the chemicals in lightening bugs could be used to make cold light.
Oh, and quite out of character, Dave puts his arm around George as they stroll off. There is very little physical contact in these books.
Nancy Drew 49: the Secret of Mirror Bay
Things were sure different in the early 60s. The location of River Heights has moved back to the East Coast. Probably located someplace near NYC. For what it is, it's a good book The Nancy Drew series will always have a special place in my heart because it was started my love for mystery books, and fueled my love for reading. Honestly though, reading it now is whole different experience and sadly, it's not in a positive direction. As usual, Nancy and the gang have some couple of mysteries to solve, met danger along the way, but solves them unscathed. Why would the adults in her life allow her to do detective work even if it placed her in harm's way?
She got her sidekicks, The Nancy Drew series will always have a special place in my heart because it was started my love for mystery books, and fueled my love for reading. She got her sidekicks, but they never get as much recognition. I also noticed an error in the book, at the part when Bess stayed to help clean the boat, but she commented on something at this museum when she's not even supposed to be there.
I might just steer clear of this series so it'll remain wonderful in my recollection as it was in my childhood.
The Secret of Mirror Bay
Nov 15, Kate rated it liked it. I grew up reading Nancy Drew books and still find them a quick but thoroughly enjoyable read. A pattern I have noticed in these stories is that every chapter ends with a cliff hanger. I remember as a child, I would read the ends of each chapter when deciding which book to buy, and then choose the one that had the most exciting endings. For instance, Chapter seven ends with "Bess had just began to feel secure against danger when suddenly she grabbed Nancy's arm in a gesture of fright" Keene Every chapter leaves the reader hanging.
I used to read the books during dinner time, God bless my parents for supporting my love for literature and many of my Nancy Drew books have food stains. Each chapter also provides Nancy and the reader with one or more clues, so the mystery is slowly pieced together as the story progresses.

As the reader, I felt like I was able to solve the mystery with her, as opposed to just waiting for her to solve it. Another pattern of the Nancy Drew books is the characteristics of their protagonist. Nancy Drew is always portrayed as an intelligent, brave, independent, and kind hearted heroine. There are times when Nancy has to rely on her friends for help and there are even times when Nancy admits to making a mistake, or misinterpreting a clue.
But her heart is always in the right place and she never gives up. Jun 06, Melanie rated it liked it Shelves: George is bitchier and butchier than ever. Dave Bess's boyfriend gets knocked unconscious by an unknown assailant. This is a double mystery; a "lost textile process" developing "cold light" from firefly hormones and searching for some junk that someone threw in the lake centuries earlier.

For once Nancy had neither taken any foolish expeditions nor took any stupid risks. The entire plot was very much believable with an uncomplicated and straightforward story. And ,that is the primary reason why I found pleasure reading it. I rated it average despite of enjoying it to the fullest because of its simplicity.
Another important point that I would like to highlight is that the entire Nancy drew series is great for the preadolescent crowd this stands for all the Nancy drew books I strongly believe that a 8 years old kid would not only love these books but also devour them.
