"Mr. Cheeters is Missing" is installment #6 in the graphic novel series featuring Nancy Drew, girl detective. The series updates the popular novels by Carolyn Keene, reimagining teenagers Nancy Drew, her best friends Bess and George, and boyfriend Ned into 21st Century River Heights.

As the story opens, Nancy gets involved in the disappearance of Mr. Cheeters, the pet chimpanzee of the wealthy but very eccentric Mrs. Blanche Porter. Seems Mr. Cheeters went missing while wearing a very expensive diamond necklace. Nancy and her friends take up the search. The trail of clues leads to Mrs. Porter's evasive brother Lawrence, a dying circus run by an rather evil clown, and a death-defying helicopter ride...

"Mr. Cheeters is Missing" is a surprisingly good story with plenty of twists and turns, and a chance for Nancy to do some real detective work. It is highly recommended to the latest generation of Nancy Drew fans.

First the way the story opens with Bess sneezing about her stuff animals I thought the Mr. Cheeters that goes missing in the story would be a stuff animal. Much to my surprise it deals with a missing pet monkey whose owner husband hated the ape and a series of spooky circus people right in the middle of everything. Its an action pack story of jewel thieves, pet napping and wondering if the ape is real or just a figment of a woman's imagination.
