No Zoo For You! And that's no joke!
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-01-18
Nancy Drew, with all of her detective skills, can't seem to find a sense of humor in her grouchpot substitute teacher, Mr. Daly. Well, maybe it's not all Mr. Daly's fault. The jokes he's had to endure in his classroom are pretty lame.

Who would be dumb enough to think that putting a fake goldfish in a teacher's water glass would be a laugh-riot? Well, apparently, it's the same goofy person who pinned a "Old Meanie" sign on Mr. Daly's back. Is it any wonder the teacher isn't laughing?

But when things keep getting out of hand, it sure looks like the whole class is going to pay the price for the dumb jokes, because it's Mr. Daly who just might cancel the class trip to the zoo.

Nancy Drew better get out her trusty blue notebook and start writing down clues and suspects. Bess, and George sure want her to find the prankster. But somebody doesn't want the monkeying around to stop -- no matter how badly the class wants to go on the trip!

It's up to Nancy Drew to crack the case 'cause It's No Joke!

It's funny, and suspicious things happen. I read it all by myself. You've got to use your brain to figure out the mystery. I love Nancy Drew Notebooks, and all kids 6 or up should read them.

If you haven't read any of the books in the series this book is a good book to start with. I thought it to was dumb for George to not tell Will what was going on and to dress in wierd cloths so no one would reconize her. Overall it was a great book

i really enjoyed it

It was an excellent book, and I really liked it. It's about love, and the emotions that come when we fall in love. I just think that Nancy was being a brat about Ned and Bess. I understand she's still in love with him, but honestly, she's just living out the title: jealous feelings. And can't Jake and Nancy just get back toghter? They were perfect for each other!

As a fan of the Nancy Drew computer games from Her Interactive (wonderful things, by the way), I decided that I should start reading some of the books. I found one that included my love of music, and it was great. All the suspects were convincing, and as the stakes got higher, it became more interesting. I kind of predicted the general outcome, as in who the suspect was, but that didn't take away from the overall appeal. I recommend this book to readers, and to Her Interactive so it can become another game in their series. =)

This book was interesting, exciting, and quite suspenseful!

Nancy, Bess and George are having a great time working on a wonderful school project, and it's right up their alley. Along with Phoebe Archer, they are going to write a mystery story.

Working as a team, they are sure to come up with the best story ever so that they can see it in print in the school newspaper. The competition is high, because everybody wants to win. But, somebody wants to win badly enough to steal the story. The culprit wants to spook the girls with crazy notes dripping with red.

The worst part is, the notes are right out of the story written by Nancy, Bess, George and Phoebe. Could the ghost story be all coming true? The rest of the team is sure spooked out, but it will take a cool, collected detective to jot down all the suspects and clues in her blue notebook, ultimately cracking the case of The Make-Believe Mystery.

My favorite book !

Amateur sleuth, Nancy Drew, has always been quite content within the tiny town of River Heights. In River Heights, Nancy doesn't stick out like a sore thumb simply because she wears old-fashioned clothes, and prefers sticking her head in a good book as opposed to going to parties. The fact that she always has the opportunity to chase criminals in her roadster - always obeying traffic laws, of course - and manages to solve crimes on a daily basis doesn't hurt much, either. And she can't forget her best friends, Bess and George, along with her potential love interest, Ned. Basically, Nancy couldn't be happier with her life. But then the unthinkable happens. Her father, Carson Drew, is offered the chance to earn some big money by relocating to the City of Angels - Los Angeles - for a few months, and he's taking Nancy with him. Nancy doesn't want to leave her friends behind, or abandon her beloved housekeeper, Hannah, but to please her father, she boards a train and heads for La-La Land. Of course, once she arrives there, Nancy realizes that her father has one very important ground rule set in stone that he wants her to obey wholeheartedly - no more sleuthing! Nancy can't believe her ears. Sleuthing is like second-nature to her, and she can't possibly wrap her head around the concept of renouncing it completely. But she wants to keep her father happy, and agrees to his terms. What he doesn't know, however, is that Nancy has chosen a house with quite a bit of history - and a huge mystery - for them to reside in for the next few months. A beautiful movie star known as Dehlia Draycott, whose career was at its all-time prime when she suddenly died, posed quite a difficult time for the authorities years ago. The killer was never discovered, and Dehlia's Last Will & Testament was never uncovered. Nancy instantly takes an interest in the case, and vows that before she leaves Los Angeles, the mystery surrounding Dehlia Draycott will be solved. But solving the Dehlia Draycott mystery has to take a slight backseat to acting like a "normal teenager." Carson Drew is determined for Nancy to act like other kids her age, and wants her to make new friends. So, to fill the void left by her separation from Bess, George, and Ned, Nancy works to befriend Inga, Corky, and Trish - three of her classmates from Hollywood Hills High, who happen to be the epitome of LA style. Nancy feels that by being friendly to everyone she meets, she's sure to make new friends. But that's not the case. The kids at Hollywood Hills High look at her like she has just stepped off a UFO, and seem intimidated by her confidence. But Nancy doesn't let their cold shoulders rub her the wrong way. In fact, she takes their behavior in stride, and only works harder to be liked. Now, however, as she gets closer to solving the Dehlia Draycott mystery, Nancy realizes that she'll have to enlist the help of her new friends to capture the killer, before she finds herself swimming with the fishes.

The fact that a NANCY DREW film is hitting the big-screen in a month has me absolutely thrilled. And, being the Nancy Drew fan that I am, I found myself incapable of resisting the urge to pick up the movie novelization. While many movie novelizations read like a poorly written script, Daniela Burr manages to bring Nancy's true personality to the forefront, and create a novelization that reads quite like the other books found within the NANCY DREW series. Nancy, as always, is a lovable individual, whose uniqueness shines through on every page. Her confidence, determination, and ability to see the good in everyone - no matter how they treat her - is admirable; and the fact that she appears to win over just about anyone she comes in contact with is quite entertaining. Her intelligence regarding quite a few subjects - from Algebra to laws - is refreshing, and certainly makes her an irresistible character. I found it slightly disappointing that Bess and George make one three-minute appearance throughout the whole tale, and missed Ned's ever-adorable presence. However, the characters of Inga, Trish, and Corky did add a nice contrast to Nancy's conservative character. Inga, Trish, and Corky are the epitome of LA, whose quirky style, and personalities work to make them an accurate, humorous portrayal of La-La Land residents. Though I found their sudden departure from the story to be slightly...abrupt. The ending seems to be fairly hurried, and doesn't really give the reader the chance to see what happens to certain characters - such as Nancy's LA friends. I suppose, of course, this is due to the fact that a sequel could be in the works. Even with the rushed ending, Burr manages to translate the NANCY DREW film script into a fun novelization that provides enjoyment for readers of all ages - both young and old. An ideal way to gear up for the release of the film!

Diehard fans of Nancy Drew books will definitely want to add this one to their collection. Although it is a novelization of the movie plot, it is written in the style of the actual Nancy Drew mystery series--having not seen the movie yet, I didn't feel like I was reading a script, it is a full-fledged Nancy Drew mystery story, with all the usual suspects, including Bess, George, Ned, Hannah, and Carson Drew. At 125 pages, it is pretty much the same length as any book in the regular series as well. There's no doubt that in years to come, this book will be well out-of-print and a much sought after collector's item.
