River Heights is a buzz. It's the annual Biking for Bucks charity race. This is a big event in the city and Nancy and her friends are excited to be part of the two day event. But that's before someone lets Ned's car roll into a creek and lets the air out of their bike tires. But the worst is that the money pledged has been stolen. Now Nancy needs to track down the missing money before the rest of the town finds out that the money is missing.

Having really enjoyed the first book of these relaunches, I decided to give the second a try. Again, I enjoyed the characterizations. This time, I felt the plot was lacking more then the first book. Maybe it's because I'm older then the target audience, but I found the dual plots rather obvious. And the bike ride made little to no sense, especially the race aspect of things.

Over all, I think young kids will enjoy these books, but the lack of decent mysteries will make older kids pass on them for the originals.

In this book, Nancy has to find out who had stolen the money for the River Heights Biking for Bucks charity Race. The mystery and the suspense were great -- better than the first book. Even the characters were more developed. I'm off to read the next one!

Nancy Drew....A Race Against Time is an exciting book that kept me at the edge of my seat with every single word that I read. Especially with the part where all the catastrophes started happening, when I say that I mean when all the food poisioning and broken genators started to occur. Like I said earlier, I gave this book a 5 star rating for mainly one reason; the book gave detail. and explained the story like exceptionaly well. I highly recommend this book.

Nancy is asked to help find a missing horse. At the same time she is starring in a movie made by a college friend. The setting of the movie is an abandoned Victorian house and the stable mysteriously burns down. Other attempts are also made to harass the group. Will Nancy be able to solve these mysteries? You bet ya!
