1.0 out of 5 stars Laughable, July 6, 2005

Nancy, Bess, George, and their respective boyfriends, Ned Nickerson, Dave Evans, and Burt Eddleton, head off for a camping trip on Shawniegunk Mountain, where Nancy hopes to catch sight of a rumored UFO. Along the way, the three couples, accompanied by their chaperones and trail guides, Hal and Jan Drake, run into enough trouble (including Indians, runaway horses, snakebites, and forest fires) to do in an entire wagon train. Nancy, undeterred, gets her hoped for sighting of the UFO as well as a bonus mystery in the form of an old man's hidden treasure.

This book had no substance and no point - in addition to an already laughable premise. Some publisher out there should be very ashamed of himself.

2.0 out of 5 stars Under my expectations, November 21, 2010
Almost all of the Nancy Drew books I have read have been really good, but this one does NOT make the cut. There is practically no plot and hardly a mystery at all. The other Nancy Drew books are realistic and fun, but I think this one belongs in the sci-fi section. But if you like that stuff, go ahead.

P.S. The best Nancy Drew's are the original ones: #56 and under.

1.0 out of 5 stars So Bad, It's Good, July 16, 2009

This is a very strange book. Nancy and her friends head off on a camping trip to solve the mystery of a disappearing UFO. This on its own is enough to make this a weird read, but there is more. The book is muddled with too many subplots and packed with odd scenes - bordering on sci-fi - not typical of Nancy Drew, including a two-chapter-long, really strange dream. Add a long-lost relative, and it's laughably bad.
The upside of this book is that it's fun to laugh over the unpredictable plot twists and unlikely scenarios. But if you expect a traditional Nancy Drew, pick another one in the series.
