HAPPY DREW YEAR SLEUTHS! A Mysterious Nancy Drew Mystery at the Library…
At the library, behold! It’s Nancy Drew!
Mysteries, clues and vintage books too!
An old mystery game and a puzzle so clever
Collectibles, ephemera, Nancy Drew’s sleuthiest cases ever!
There’s a lot you can learn when you visit the library
There are so many Nancy Drew thrillers to solve, so don’t tarry!
Open a Nancy Drew book and the mystery comes alive!
To River Heights in your roadster, take a mysterious drive
You’ll find an old letter Nancy Drew just read
Full of mystery and dastardly doings – it filled her with dread!
An elderly spinster needed a girl detective
Any case she could handle and solve with her women’s perspective
She grabbed Bess and George, her most trusty of pals
Off in Nancy’s roadster, they were the pluckiest of gals
With a note to stay off the case, or else! They headed to Larkspur Lane
An old creepy caretaker had a lot to explain
Ghosts a haunting, mysterious whispers – oh what a fright!
They planned to catch the suspects with a stakeout at midnight
Hannah Gruen to the rescue with a tasty snack
Soon the three chums knew they were on the right track
The crooks began to gather through a secret passageway
With a host of schemes and ruses, they were plotting foul play
With a birdcall, a whistle and Bess as a lookout too
The suspects didn’t realize they’d have to tangle with Nancy Drew
As the stars gave a sinister glow, Nancy set out to foil the thieves
Away to the Black Horse Inn, she had some detective tricks up her sleeves
The robbers left a clue in an old clock with a crescent moon
Nancy snatched it in the night, her spine tingled, she nearly did swoon!
To solve this mystery, she would need one final clue
But first she would chase suspects in her high heeled shoes
Dodging foibles, she was wary, she nearly caught a big red herring!
But never fear she was too smart and so cleverly daring.
Oh no! Chloroform! She was knocked unconscious so many times
It’s amazing she survived to solve all those crimes!
Kidnapped and left to starve, she was forever in danger
Never before has a mystery been stranger…
Then the Old Haunted Ghost of the Mysterious Crossword Cipher
Spooked them all and then George exclaimed Hypers!
The Sleuthtacular Chums – they solved the case!
Then they wondered if there would be another with even more dastardly villains to chase
So, as we close the final chapter on the most exciting puzzler we’ve ever seen
All the thanks in the world to the imagination of Carolyn Keene!
