5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Nancy Drew book, December 6, 2001

By	Dana S. (Chula Vista, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I really like Nancy Drew books. But this is my favorite! I love
all the action! My favorite part is when Nancy's the lead of the
show.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE GREAT NANCY DREW MYSTERIES!, August 11, 2000

By	Jennie (South USA) - See all my reviews

THE CLUE OF THE DANCING PUPPET was a very fun book to read. I couldn't put it down. Nancy is asked to investigate again; this time she checks out a puppet that is seen dancing across the lawn of an old estate, home of an acting group. She follows the puppet but doesn't get anywhere the first time. Ned, Burt and Dave make an appearance as well as Bess and George. Nancy acts in a play, which makes Ned kind of mad. This is a great book for any major (or not-so-major) Nancy Drew fan to read. You are sure to love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read..., January 2, 2007

A Kid's Review

I love Nancy Drew books and I have read about half the series and so far this is **one** of my favorites. ( I have a lot of favorites) But you would not like this book if you did not like mysterys, adventure, and suspense books. You would like this book if you like suspense, mystery, and adventure books. If you are a boy you probaly would rather read a book where the main character and most of the characters are boys right? Well then I recomend The Hardy Boys Books.But only if you are a boy. I sometimes read those because I am a girl, but I know that if I were a boy I would want to read the same kind of book but have the main character be a boy. Anyways this book kept me in suspense and kept me up all night because I just did not want to stop reading so I just ended up reading most of the night. I felt like I was Nancy drew and when ever nancy drew found a great clue I would feel excited just like nancy drew would be. Every sentence kept me going. Carolyn Keene is the best author in author history! At the end of the chapter something exciting happens and you just have to go on to find out what happens next. I totally recomend this book and all of the other nancy drew books. Before I ever even knew that these books existed I absolutely would not read. But now all I do is read. Well, you should read this book!
P.S. Sorry if this review is boring!
