Nancy Drew is babysitting Owen when a thunderstorm hits River Heights. As a result, a truck jackknifes and a SUV crashes into the truck.

This book was a great surprise to learn about and see that Nancy Drew was carrying on as a graphic novel now. While I wasn't too keen on the art style, I still sucked it up and enjoyed it. The story was good, but Nancy was a bonehead! She was so absent minded and forgetful, this was nothing like the real Nancy Drew in the main series. I was disappointed about that, but it was still a fun read.

I decided to read a few more graphic novels. These Nancy Drew graphic novels are kind of fun because they mesh together the classic Nancy Drew series with the upcoming graphic novel genre. I like watching how the authors and illustrators work together to create the authenticity of the books.

I was pretty surprised when I found out that Nancy Drew, the classic girl detective novel, had been revamped into a modern day teen graphic novel. I have to admit though; it was a pretty fun read. Nancy still has her wit, smarts, and curiosity, plus now a hybrid car, a cell phone, and a keen sense of 21st century style. Reading the story was just like watching an episode of Veronica Mars, another smart and fashionable high school detective. I would use these graphic novels as a way to get reluct...more

A graphic novel based on Nancy Drew! Alright!!! I was skeptical, but since I grew up reading Nancy Drew, and I love comics...I had to try it out. What a fun series! The girl sleut is thoroughly modern and a great tweenie read, although I think my 1st grader will like it too. I had to read it first, but now I'm passing it along. What fun!
