The Secret of the Forgotten City
Nancy Drew is a young detective. Nancy usually helps her father, Carson Drew, with his cases. Nancy's mystery all starts when she heard rumors that long ago there was a treasure hidden in a city that is now buried under the Nevada Desert. Nancy and her friends, Bess, George, Ned, Burt, and Dave, plan to join a dig sponsored by two colleges to hunt for the gold. Before Nancy starts, she receives an ancient tablet with petroglyphs carved on it. But with the clue from the tablet, a thief also wants the treasure and brings threat and danger to Nancy and her friends.

One stressful adventure after another overwhelmed Nancy and her friends in 102-degree temperature as they follow Nancy's guesses above and below ground. They are assisted by a Indian woman and a young geology student. In the end Nancy and Ned almost lose their lives, just after Nancy has discovered the precious hidden treasure of gold under the Nevada Desert.

Nancy Does Everything
Some people may be turned off by the fact that Nancy Drew is the perfect human being, who can literally do anything needed to solve her mysteries, but I've been enjoying her series since I was six. I'm now 24 and I still enjoy sitting down on a rainy day with a Nancy Drew mystery.
The Secret of the Forgotten City has a similar plot line to some of the other books in the series, but it's still a good read. I still enjoy seeing Nancy, Bess, George and their boys solve a case. This is no different.

Not the Best in the Series
Like many of the Drew books near the end of this series ,they are a bit boring.This books starts off slow but picks up by the end.I found Nancy and her friends disrespect for human remains disturbing.I could not believe that a writer would think that would even be funny.Most of the book was just so out there.Who would let teens paste together a rare clay sculpture.Wouldnt you wait and have someone with years of experience do this?
