Description

Nancy Drew and The Hidden Staircase hits the big screen in March of 2019! Read the classic book that inspired the movie!

After receiving a call from her friend Helen Corning, Nancy agrees to help solve a baffling mystery. Helen's Aunt Rosemary has been living with her mother at the old family mansion, and they have noticed many strange things. They have heard music, thumps, and creaking noises at night, and seen eerie shadows on the walls. Could the house be haunted?

Just as soon as she hangs up the phone, a strange man visits Nancy's house to warn her and her father that they are in danger because of a case he is working on buying property for a railroad company. This warning leads Nancy and  her father Carson to search for the missing Willie Wharton, a landowner, who can prove he signed away his land to the railroad and save the railroad from a lawsuit. Will Nancy be able to find the missing landowner and discover how these mysteries are related?

  • Too predictable šŸ˜’

    I mean, we all knew Mr Gomber would be more involved than the warning, and that Nancyā€™s dad would say,ā€ Oh Iā€™m fineā€ and really would be threatened, and that the ghost would do mysterious things. The only thing unexpected is when the ceiling fell. All the books are about the same: just solved this, moving on to that, oh no this, plot twist, letā€™s tell the police,found another clue,aha I did it, oh wait I didnā€™t,now i really did it, ā€œNancy you saved the day!ā€. Also, there were multiple typos, which made this 3 star book a 2 star book. Sorry if this review came off as rude but Iā€™m just saying my opinion you donā€™t have to agreešŸ™ƒ

  • Not original version

    Note: This is a later total revision of the original 1930 story. Nancy Drew changes a great deal over the 50 years that separates the versions, as does the plot of the story. So do know that this purchase is of the 1950s Nancy Drew, not the original, rather different and more forthright, girl detective.
