AT A TRAVELING ANTIQUES SHOW, NANCY'S APPRAISING BURGLARIES, FRAUD, AND A GREEDY THIEF!

While visiting Chicago, Nancy, Bess, and George bring some items to the Old Can Be Gold show to see what they're worth, just for fun. In George's old tape recorder, a dealer finds a rare early tape by a famous rock group. But before George can get it insured, it's stolen -- like many other items brought to the show!

From a luxury condo on Lake Shore Drive to a hot blues club, Nancy discovers a mix of suspects. There's a seedy dealer, an ambitious publicist with access to the show's database, a talented singer in need of money, and drop-dead gorgeous twin brothers, one a top appraiser and the other a gifted photographer. Nancy's got to wind up the case -- before a desperate con artist erases her for good!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nancy Drew: The case of the lost song., March 13, 2007

A Kid's Review

Nancy Drew: The case of the lost song is a very suspenseful book. The story takes place in Chicago. There are many events, and some had to do more with the main issue. Nancy and her two friends Bess and George bring some items to the "Old Can Be Gold" show just for fun. In George's old tape recorder they discover a recording of a famous rock band. But before they can get it approved, it gets stolen. Another huge event is that Nancy comes up with several different suspects to analyze while trying to find out who stole the tap recorder. She comes up with a dealer, a publicist with access to the shows database, a talented singer in desperate need of money, and a pair of twins. Nancy Drew is determined to figure out who has done it so that the con artist does not erase them for good. The main problem in this wonderful book is that the precious tape recorder with a heap worth of money song on it has been stolen. If they want that money, then they have to use all their might to try and figure out who has stolen it. They do this by interviewing all of the suspects and analyzing the location where it was stolen. In the end they figure out that the person that stole it was the snobby dealer. Turns out that he wanted all the money he could get for that precious tape so he was planning on trading it for a diamond ring. In the end, Nancy and her friends end up getting it back and get all of the money they deserved for it. I'm not going to tell you how they got it back though. You will just have to read and find out!

3.0 out of 5 stars **A great Nancy book?**, June 27, 2002

A Kid's Review

Although I am a big Nancy Drew fan, I'd have to say this was not one of my favorite books. Although parts of it are intriguing (as all Nancy stories are) Some parts are just downright boring. However, if you're a diehard Nancy Drew fan, you still have to get this book for your collection!
