Thurston to sell his farm. But the group of sleuths find they must overcome people's superstitions and fears in solving the case of the "jinxed" bird farm.
So, as a child, one of my favorite things about summer was the frequent trips to our local library, which was less than a mile from our house. And as I would read her most current adventure, I would imagine myself following in her footsteps … taking charge and plunging ahead, getting into mischief, chasing down culprits and solving the mystery.

Unfortunately, Nook doesn't have all of them loaded yet so I had to skip from 46 to We've come a long way in skipping those 4 books.
Ned stayed at Nancy's house gasp twice!

What girl doesn't want to be Nancy?
She's strong, courageous and has a cute boyfriend who'll save if need be. Oh and lots not forget an excellent ballet dancer. In fact, she's so good, that a professional company wants her to dance with them based on her dancing a quick little bit with the lead dancer. The were kept in small confined areas. The book was the first time I noticed that mental illness is mentioned. Nancy is kidnapped by one of the villains, but he makes some strange comments like he's not really aware.
Nancy asks that he get some mental help. Yes, Nancy Drew is catching up with modern times. Jul 21, Kendall rated it liked it Shelves: Of course all nancy drew books are amazing but this one kind of fell flat. There was little sleuthing. I like endings that tie up all lose ends and explain everything, but it kind of left me guessing. It brought up a witch coven, and left me wondering what the mystery was even about. Not the best ive read. Didn't get that in this book. The coven thing in the end was a little stupid. Nancy is working with her father on a case.
Her dad is worki Of course all nancy drew books are amazing but this one kind of fell flat. Her dad is working with Mr. A large development company is wanting to buy mr. Threats include his birds getting sick and Mr. Thorton and Ned being knocked out. Nancy and Ned end up both getting sick. Kammy, who is a Eurasian girl staying with the Thorton's, was a suspect.

She tries to catch Merv and another guy who was poisoning the birds. Merv kidnaps nancy and takes her to a coven. The Master was conning people and we find out Merv was a little unstable. The leader of the development company hired these people to jinx the Thorton's to get the land. Jun 06, Melanie rated it it was ok Shelves: What the fuck was that? It was written in ish and reads more like Scooby Doo than Nancy Drew. Title has nothing to do with the mystery AT ALL other than that some people are mildly superstitious.
Ned and Nancy catch a deadly bird pneumonia but survive of course, since there are six more books in this series. They also are tossed into a river by a heavy and survi What the fuck was that? They also are tossed into a river by a heavy and survive a plunge over a dam. Nancy gets kidnapped by an unhinged leaping dancer who leaps with her to an abandoned barn where she joins a demonic cult.
Anyway, the evil developer who forces people to sell their property eventually gets arrested though he didn't do any of the bad deeds directly. Ned gets chloroformed by an unknown assailant. Also, Nancy gets arrested for packing 9 children and three adults in her convertible, but the officer lets her go with a warning. It's the first time anyone has ever objected to Nancy cramming more than six people in her car. Dec 20, Brianna C. I found this book to be a little geek-like. Nancy soon realizes that helping honest people to overcome their superstitions and fears can be as challenging as tracking down criminals.
