The Secret of the Forgotten City by Carolyn Keene Book Review:
I have been a fan of Nancy ever since I read the first book featuring her when I was in the fourth standard. So, my childhood memories are not complete without the mention of Nancy Drew books.
Not the best Nancy Drew adventure, I still enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed the adventure and the thrill of finding new clues. But I felt there was little action and the villain, though one shown as very dangerous, got caught a bit too easily.
There are the usual beloved characters of Bess, George, Burt, Dave, Mr. Drew, Hannah and finally Ned in the book apart from some new characters also which are beautifully characterised and developed. I specially liked Miss Antler. She was sweet and very intelligent. Each and every character played its part beautifully and managed to progress the story without seeming superficial.
I give The Secret of the Forgotten City by Carolyn Keene 3.5 out of 5 stars and Njkinny Recommends this Nancy Drew mystery book to all young readers who love action, adventure and mysteries.
