I've read more than 65 Nanccy Drews and this is my favorite because it has a lot of action and its funny.

This is a really great mystery by Carolyn Keene. It starts when three houses in River Heights get burguralized.All the clues point to one person, a girl named Juanita. One of the clues that really makes her look suspicious is that her boyfriend installed all the security systems of the houses that were burguralized.But Nancy is positive that someone is framing Juanita.Can Nancy find out who is really the criminal before someone who may be innocent gos to jail?Find out by reading this mind boggling mystery!

It's kind of like a freaky friday book filled with magic tricks that Nancy must solve before it is too late.

 Why, why did they accuse me right away for stealing stuff from houses I work at before
they got evidence?
What is wrong, Julie? Nancy asked. They accused me of stealing things from houses I
baby sit at without any evidence or any other clues!
Will Nancy be able to solve this mystery of her friends false accusation or not? This
book will take you away in a very fast paste, believe me it took me that way.
In the book the baby sitter is falsely accused of stealing from burglarized homes. I could
see being a suspect in her place but dont accuse her alone. One of the reasons they accused her
also was because she knew the security codes and her boyfriend only installed the systems in the
houses that were burglarized so he was also accused of it right away because of his knowing the
codes or how to get in without the alarm going off.
In this book the author, Caroline Keene, loves to trick the reader but who cares? Let your
mind go where it wants to when you read this book. At one time she had me fooled to believe
that this boy was the burglar. She will have you fooled to believe so many different things that
dont even happen in this book. Trust me I know.
The author keeps you going on and on, reading. I read this book in a day because I
wanted to find out the whole mystery and who was the burglar. If you read this book she gets
you to the point that nothing else is going on in the world. When they started finding clues that

the burglar left, it had me hooked even worse than any other time. When this happened I didnt
have even a single clue what was going on around me!!!
This book is so suspenseful! It makes you believe things that dont even happen. This
book makes you think beyond the plot. I was so suspenseful when the burglar catches Nancy and
knocks her down in the boat and was very close to hurting her severely until a little boy named
Carlos got there just in the nick of time. Wow, that was incredible and you will find the burglar
in this part.
This book was unbelievable in so many different ways. One way I really thought was
unbelievable was how can a human bean write so wonderful and mysterious? She has a
wonderful way of wording and getting the reader caught up in the story so much that you think
you are in the story and you are the main character!!!
The baby sitter is falsely accused of stealing things from houses she worked at without
evidence. The author, Caroline Keene, tricks the reader in so many different ways. Caroline
Keene, keeps the reader going on and on and on just to find what happens next. This book is
suspenseful. You can barley stay in one spot to read you should or would have to move around
because it is so exciting.

This book is a thrilling and exciting mystery! Nancy Drew, a detective, is helping her friend, Juanita, babysit for several kids. Suddenly, a mystery appears for Nancy to solve. Juanita and her boyfriend, David, are being accused for burglarizing three houses in River Estates. The police believe the culprit is Juanita because she babysits at all three of the robbed houses and her boyfriend is the one that installed the security system so it would be easy for them to brake into the houses. Knowing that Juanita is innocent, Nancy investigates and finds some clues that puzzles her. One of those clues is that the burglar is only taking toys, TV's, and coin collections; not valuable items such as jewelry. Nancy knows one thing - the key to this case is the security system that has failed at eachof the robbed houses.

I liked this book because the plot was fantastic and the writing was very detailed. I also liked this book because I thought the ending was absolutely wonderful. In my opinion, this book was so good that when you start reading it, you never want to put it down until you finish it.

I also liked this book because of the magnificent quotes. One of my favorite quotes in this book is: "Carlos-take my hand!" She then froze in horror as someone started to flip her body into the dumpster! This quote is found on page 93 of the book. Here is another one of my favorite quotes, found on page 96: "I hate to say this," Nancy whispered to George,"but Juanita did make sure we'd be bust tonight, what if she and David were planning to skip town?" These quotes are very important to the story.

I liked the part of the book where an angry Doberman dog jumped on Nancy, bringing her to the ground. I also liked the part when Carlos, Juanita's little brother, tried to run away from Nancy by jumping on his bike and speeding away. I liked these parts because they represent a very interesting and important detail detail to the story. They turn the mystery around.

I'd read it again because I already have read most of the Nancy Drew books I just started to read the books this year. I read the books in the order that they come in. What got me started reading the books was the kids in my school because everyone reads them. So one day, I checked one out from the school library and I couldn't put it down. So I just keep checking them out. And I think that this one is the best so far. So that is why I I'd read it again. Read to find out what happens.

WOW! I loved this book.It was exe*.I thought it was unfair to poor old long-suffering hard-working Bess.The suspence was too good ,I love that about the Nancy Drew books. WOW!
