The Sand Castle Mystery (Nancy Drew Notebooks Series #49)

by Carolyn Keene, Paul Casale (Illustrator)

Overview

While vacationing at a lake, Nancy, Bess, and George have their eyes on first prize in the annual sand castle contest. They use special colored sand and carefully build the castle to look like the ones they researched at the library. If the girls win, they’ll get their picture in the local paper and all the ice cream they can eat.

But before judging begins, someone wrecks the girls’ castle and writes a mean message in the sand. Nancy and her friends will have to dig deep to get back into the contest before it’s too late!

Editorial Reviews

[Editor’s Note: This is a combined review with NANCY DREW: SPACE CASE.]--In these two stories, Jack and Annie travel on magical adventures. The first story is set in long-ago Venice during the time of the carnival. Following clues from Merlin’s rhyme, the two help save the city from a flood. In the second story, they travel to ancient Baghdad, where they fight sandstorms, ride camels, and protect a mysterious box. Osborne has a distinctively careful, soft voice that most children will to love (though some adults may find Annie’s girlish voice reminiscent of Georgette’s from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”). The author paces her reading well, though, and children will appreciate how much she seems to enjoy sharing her informative, imaginative tales with children. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
