I've got to say, i have had this series on my bookshelf for a long time now, so one night i got super bored and read it. And I LOVED it! It has action suspense and fun! To start of the first chapter, Nancy saves a girl and brings her to her family, whom are very poor, who wish to give their child an education but can't afford it.The family tells Nancy about being in a will but when it was time to read the will, they weren't included in it, and several other people. To get the rest of the information , you have to read the rest of the book at your local library. But all in all, this is a amazing book and you should read it! I would recommend it to 9 + for age because of some places where the chapters take place. I would also recommend it to kids who love mysteries,like me! Bye!

This was an AMAZING book! It was so exciting and I actually looked forward to reading it in my free time! It's a mystery book, which I find are sometimes hard to understand, but Carolyn Keene actually did a great job making this book simple to understand and gripping all throughout. Also, the story wasn't too predictable, which made it extra exciting to read. Five stars- You need to read it!

I read this book because my grandmother used to read it when she was a kid so I thout it would be fun reading a book from when nobody had Ipones, computers, and ect.

It is an amazing story ❤️ first Nancy tries to find a will but she couldn't find it

I read this because my cousin liked it when she read it and I thought I would like it. It's a very good book, I reccomend

In this first novel by Carolyn Keene Nancy Drew makes her debut in trying to find a missing will. But if she doesn't succeed, all hope is lost for some newly made friends. An amazing book, full of action and adventure.

Nancy Drew book 1 is awesome as book 2 is. I love how the old lady can't remember where the old man hide the well.
