I read this book because I wanted to see what a graphic novel was like and very curious to read one that was based on the Nancy Drew series. I enjoyed it. This story takes place in the present day but the fun thing was that River Heights ( the setting) is celebrating retro days and everything is themed to the 1930s. The story is original as far as I know and not based on an early original book. The story also refers to previous real Nancy Drew books, which I thought was kind of fun. I'd like to think that reading these would encourage the reader to try the old Nancy Drew books. It’s nostalgia week in River Heights. The residents have given up modern technology and fashion to return to the simple life of the 1930s. Nancy and her friends, Bess and George are going to the antique auction celebrating the Stratemeyer Foundation. Emma Blavatsky donates a dollhouse that’s rumored to be haunted. Not believing it for second, Nancy is determined to solve the mystery behind the secrets of this dollhouse. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

This was a fun read; the title and description caught my eye and I realized only later that this is part of a graphic novel series that I had previously written off after not loving the first one in the series. While the mystery is pretty obvious, the story is still fun. Told in three chapters, it dips into the supernatural but only as a red herring. I loved the nostalgia week gimmick to continue setting the series in the modern day while making nods to the old titles. Indeed, this title includes lots of fun Easter eggs for tried and true Nancy Drew fans, but this mystery also stands on its own for new readers just meeting the famous girl detective.
The illustrations aren't fantastic ... they're at times using too much of a dark palette to see what's going on ... but they suffice for the story to be read in an enjoyable enough way. ( )
