This is a very unusual story for the Nancy Drew series as it is supernatural in nature. It begins with her in a lecture and then she is suddenly transported through time back to the 1930's during the great depression. She is still her and all her friends and family are still themselves as if it was an alternate reality rather than a time-jump.
She makes several comical mistakes as she's not from the 1930's and the language is different making it a really cool historical mystery. She's obviously much more bold then a woman was respectfully supposed to act in that time period but she came from money and would have been allowed a certain more freedom because of it..
It was a very refreshing take on the Nancy Drew series and I wouldn't mind reading more like this.

This one was was one of my least favorites I've read so far. I hate the dream/time warp troupe (but that's just me). I also disliked how Nancy just gave the police the culprit but did all the work? In my opinion, one of the weaker books in the series.

This book was ok once you got past her random time warp.
She's so bold, but then also will let the adult men get the credit when she basically handed the police the culprits AND the evidence. It's ridiculous and Idk.. yielding. I mean it's humble. Idk how I feel about that, but it doesn't really sit right. It's good how helpful she is. I love that. lol. She has a big compassionate heart, and that is clear throughout the book. She's a great low-key heroine of her time.
YAYY, 40th book completed for this year! I conquered my Book Challenge for the year. I may now increase it to 50. hmm.
