If you want to pick up the book just to enjoy Nancy punching a bear in the face I think that's probably totally legit.

- art is subpar…wasn’t amazed by it…LIKE WHY DO THE CHARACTERS LOOK LIKE DAT

- WHY IS MOST OF THIS IN PITCH DARK LIKE I GET IT THERE IS A DEMON IN THE SCARY WOODS AT NIGHT BUT I LITERATELY CANT SEE THE ART

- Pretty scattered storyline and dialogue bubbles, especially since it is the first graphic novel in the series and I haven’t really read the regular novels except for one ages ago so I’m a bit confused. Like I was confused with the jobs of the characters and other connections Nancy had with the “bad” characters like——

-the images don’t match up with the narrations

- The humor was a bitttt too cheesy for me

- I still don’t fully understand how “The Demon of River Heights” had to do with these old guys trying to get fancy ores in a cave and how that had anything to do with filming the show :/

This was awful, somehow they've turned Nancy Drew into a bumbling twit, not the kind of sharp thinking, level-headed woman she is. 0/10 Would not recommend.

I adore Nancy Drew, but this was absolutely trash. The artwork was terrible (and not even clearly printed) and reminded me of a child piecing together clip art (with the exception of Busty Bess, who was clearly created by a teenage boy). The story was weak and the characters weren't memorable. There is nothing here that's Nancy Drew. Every page made me mad and I'm so disappointed that this series is how kids are possibly being introduced to such a fabulous character. I am truly baffled this is an official Nancy Drew series because it looks like a cheap knock off.

As a lifetime fan of Nancy Drew, I was optimistic about this series. Unfortunately, this was a let down.
