Sep 30, Jerry rated The Thirteenth Pearl really liked it. I've reviewed so many of these books, I've run out of things to say about them. This is as good as any Nancy Drew novel. Not sure what to say other than that. Shelves: mysteries. Re-reading this timeless treasure led me to discover that the Nancy Drew mysteries are not the novels of genius I once thought they were. This one The Thirteenth Pearl the particular distinction of not only being poorly written, but also containing numerous offensively discussed stereotypes about Japan and Japanese-Americans. People are described as "Oriental" and "Asiatic," and the entire mystery is really just an attempt for Carolyn Keene to describe for impressionable youth the "exotic" customs of the n Well. People are described as "Oriental" and "Asiatic," and the entire mystery is really just an attempt for Carolyn Keene to describe for impressionable youth the "exotic" customs of the nation of Japan. The mystery is solved at the end through The Thirteenth Pearl discovery of some weird cult ritual that comes out of left field and makes no sense whatsoever. In fact, the mystery is never really solved, so much as Carolyn clearly took a hit off the bong, wrote a paragraph, called it a night, and then sent the manuscript off without editing it. I think what's most displeasing is that Nancy's long-suffering, blue balled boyfriend Ned finally makes an appearance, only to once again be denied any sort of romantic dalliance with super prude Nancy. Jesus, Carolyn, just let them have sex already! View all 3 comments. Jun 06, Melanie rated it liked it Shelves: nancy-drew-marathonfictionThe Thirteenth Pearlchildrensread-as-ebook. And there are still The Thirteenth Pearl questions, like where is River Heights? My guess is upstate NY. What caused Mrs. Drew's death one book said she died "suddenly" and one other one mentioned "a brief illness" but that's it? Why didn't Hannah, who was apparently married herself at some point, but has lived with the Drews since Mrs. Drew kicked it, ever get married to Carson? Could you really have a platonic relationship with your live-in housekeeper for fifteen years? I had this one as a girl, but I don't think I cracked the cover of it. Probably a good thing, because it makes no sense. Nancy goes on a wild-goose-chase to Japan and disguises herself as a Japanese girl with blue eyes and titian hair and none of the Japanese people are any the wiser. I thought "Asiatics" were supposed to be smart. This was one of the few trips she took with her father and no other entourage. Anyway, they eventually return to River Heights where all the bad guys are The Thirteenth Pearl thieves and a pearl-worshipping cult. Nancy and Ned lose consciousness The Thirteenth Pearl they're The Thirteenth Pearl at the close of the penultimate chapter. This book could have been not-the-final book if one sentence had been added to the effect of "Little did she know but she was soon to be entangled in the [insert next title here]. View all 6 comments. Sep 26, Katie Randolph added it Shelves: thesis. Jul 28, Kevin rated it it was ok. The book's main problem The Thirteenth Pearl that it was poorly edited. Grammar issues that should have been caught were not. A couple examples: Plurals do not need an apostrophe. An apostrophe either before or after an "s" at the end of a word shows possession. In other words, the Cuttinis would refer to two or more people named Cuttini, and Cuttini's refers to something possess Wow! In other words, the Cuttinis would refer to two The Thirteenth Pearl more people named Cuttini, and Cuttini's refers to something possessed by Cuttini. A word showing relationship mom, dad, aunt, uncle, etc. That means it should be "my dad" or "our aunt Gertrude" and not "my Dad" or "our Aunt Gertrude. Moving to a new publisher would certainly kill any motivation I had to improve an inferior draft, so I don't believe my theory here is too far off. Had the proper editing been completed I don't believe the word "Asiatic" would have been used as Asian was already the more acceptable The Thirteenth Pearl choice. By the way, the original Nancy Drew series ended at book and there have been various spinoff series throughout the years. Enough grammar and history! There are better Nancy Drew stories than this out there. I suggest reading this one only to be a The Thirteenth Pearl or to learn how pearls are formed when mankind aids in the process or to learn Japanese customs as viewed through a s perspective. Sep 21, Bevin added it. Picked this up completely randomly when I forgot to bring a book to work and I found it in my car. Mar 03, Olivia rated it liked it. This one wasn't that great. I hate when The Thirteenth Pearl goes to another country and everyone happens to speak English and The Thirteenth Pearl police are willing to drop everything to help her. Also Nancy seems to run around in circles and take a pointless trip to Japan. Not one of the best but it is the last of the original Nancy Drew series so it's worth a read. Jul 31, John Yelverton rated it it was amazing. The last Nancy Drew book. Feb 22, Katie Dever rated it really liked it. I know the series continues after 56, but this technically is the last of the originals. I'm kind of sad after finally reading this book many years too late. I used to read these as a 10 year old. In my dark room, I'd get scared of the evil The Thirteenth Pearl in these tales. I used to fantasize being Nancy The Thirteenth Pearl. As a fan of this series, there wasn't many things that bothered me in this book. No I know the series continues after 56, but this technically is the last of the originals. None of that mattered to 10 year old me though. The Nancy Drew Project: Book # The Thirteenth Pearl Post a Comment. Oh, crap. Where to start? When I first opened this book, I was pretty sure how this review would go from the opening summary below …. So, yeah. Basically this whole mystery starts because a jeweler, Mr. Moto the most sympathetic person in the book, but definitely relegated to stereotype and also fits of fainting is robbed. I mean…I love you Mr. What ensues is a mystery that, like many others in the series, entails the villains seemingly chasing the Drews from place to place. Carson and Nancy go to Japan to investigate the possible dirty dealings of World Wide Gems and the disappearance of the rich The Thirteenth Pearl lady, Mrs. And now Nancy The Thirteenth Pearl even more convinced that some criminal ring has infiltrated World Wide Gems. Most of this mystery is too scattered to create a focus; while World Wide Gems is definitely at the center of it, the numerous disguises and elaborate fake pearl cult have me scratching my head at the end. Like, I get it. But a fake pearl cult? I mean, did they have to register as a religion? How did they recruit followers? It seems like they had to use an awful lot of jewels to recruit people. Why expend all of this effort getting a rando criminal The Thirteenth Pearl to impersonate Mrs. Rossmeyer because the real Mrs. A lot of the information was factually correct. Nancy The Thirteenth Pearl as a Japanese girl to blend in and spy on people, and she is essentially dressed as a geisha. Or ARE you? At one The Thirteenth Pearl, Nancy and her friends are chasing a criminal and ask a local for a description. I was actually physically relieved that this Italian The Thirteenth Pearl would buffer me from the relentless racism towards East Asian people for another few pages. And see how problematic my response is? And that, boys and girls, is how white guilt makes the lack of diversity in literature even worse.

  • KEENE, Carolyn
    KEENE, Carolyn Harriet Stratemeyer Adams Geboren: 1892. Overleden: 1982 Zoals veel juniorenmysteries, is de Nancy Drew-serie bedacht en werd (althans in het begin) de plot geschetst door Edward Stratemeyer [> Franklin W. Dixon] van het Stratemeyer Concern. Zijn dochter, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams nam later de uitgeverij over en claimde lange tijd de schrijver te zijn van àlle Nancy Drew-verhalen vanaf 1930 tot 1982. Onderzoek bracht aan het licht dat dit niet het geval was. De Nancy-verhalen werden, evenals andere Stratemeyer-series, geschreven door een aantal voorheen anonieme professionele schrijvers, waarvan de belangrijkste Mildred A. Wirt Benson (zie onder) was tot het moment dat Harriet Adams in 1953 (vanaf nummer 30) inderdaad begon met het schrijven van nieuwe delen en ook de oude delen vanaf 1959 reviseerde. Opmerkelijk en uniek is de zorgvuldigheid waarmee geprobeerd werd alle sporen omtrent de ‘echte’ auteurs uit te wissen. Byzantijnse plotten en samenzweringen werden gesmeed om veranderde copyrights; dossiers van The Library of Congress verdwenen en niet bestaande overheidsambtenaren werden opgevoerd om de namen van de ware schrijvers uit de boeken te laten verdwijnen.

  • Aliases: Sleuthing with a Pseudonym ©2005 by Jennifer Fisher
    75 Years of Mystery Unfolds, Part V: Aliases: Sleuthing with a Pseudonym ©2005 By Jennifer Fisher Outwitting criminals with an alias was a staple of the classic Nancy Drew series. Of course, it helped when the crooks were not too bright or the alias too transparent. Poised to sleuth, often traveling to a location outside of River Heights, one would think Nancy Drew might not be as well known as she was in her hometown. Often a situation arose where Nancy needed an alias to keep her identity a secret while she searched for hidden clues. Unfortunately, many of her aliases were discovered and she received phone threats or the people she was fooling received a letter telling them who she really was. In The Mystery at Lilac Inn, revised text, “To avoid rousing suspicion, Nancy would pretend to be an actress named Dru Gruen.” (p. 146) This alias combined a different spelling of Drew for her first name and the last name of the Drew’s housekeeper, Hannah. Luckily, Nancy was not trying to outwit the criminals with this alias–she was just prying for information from Gay Moreau’s old theater friend. In the revision of The Whispering Statue, Nancy decides to disguise herself at Carson Drew’s suggestion, and becomes “Debbie Lynbrook” in a black wig. In a case of “dumb criminal syndrome,” while goons of villain Mr. Basswood are searching for Nancy and calling her home in River Heights, no one figures out that Nancy is really Debbie. Mr. Basswood wails after being caught, “Your hair! You were wearing a wig that half-covered your face! You’re Nancy Drew, not Debbie Lynbrook!” (p.

  • Marketing Transnational Girlhood Through the Nancy Drew Series
    Global Girls and Strangers: Marketing Transnational Girlhood through the Nancy Drew Series Elizabeth Marshall Children's Literature Association Quarterly, Volume 37, Number 2, Summer 2012, pp. 210-227 (Article) Published by The Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: 10.1353/chq.2012.0018 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/chq/summary/v037/37.2.marshall.html Access Provided by University Of South Florida Libraries at 01/28/13 5:00AM GMT Global Girls and Strangers: Marketing Transnational Girlhood through the Nancy Drew Series Elizabeth Marshall Nancy Drew is often seen as emblematic of American girlhood as self-reliant and aspirational, within the parameters of middle-class, mid-century striving. Since the creation in the 1930s of “the titian-haired sleuth that all American girls love” (Kehe), the character herself, the mystery series, and associated products have crystallized as a durable brand of national identity, consumerism, and girlhood.1 Nancy Drew is an indelible character through whom the category of girlhood is consistently reproduced in relation to modernity and nation; but an indissoluble and underexamined aspect of her well-studied presence in the production of American girlhood is the global scale of the series. The ways in which the character of Nancy Drew continues to be revived globally constitute a key feature of the series’ circulation and success. Given that the Nancy Drew Mystery series “was first licensed for foreign editions in the 1930s” and that the mysteries “have been published in nineteen countries and translated for audiences in the Scandinavian countries, Malaysia, South Africa, Israel, Japan, Brazil, and Indonesia” (Kismaric and Heiferman 112), Nancy Drew can also be considered a successful global brand marketed to and consumed by a range of reading publics in a variety of locations.

  • The Visual Rewriting of Nancy Drew: an Analysis of the Cover Art of the Nancy Drew Mystery Series from 1930-1999
    THE VISUAL REWRITING OF NANCY DREW: AN ANALYSIS OF THE COVER ART OF THE NANCY DREW MYSTERY SERIES FROM 1930-1999 by Jennifer Stowe A Master’s paper submitted to the faculty of the School of Information and Library Science of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Library Science Chapel Hill, North Carolina April, 1999 Approved by: ___________________________ Advisor Jennifer Stowe. The Visual Rewriting of Nancy Drew: An Analysis of the Cover Art of the Nancy Drew Mystery Series from 1930-1999. A Master’s paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April, 1999. 47 pages. Advisor: Brian Sturm This study provides a qualitative visual analysis of selected covers from the Nancy Drew Mystery Series from the 1930’s until the present. The analysis was conducted using research on non-verbal communication and facial expression as well as research done on composition and perception in order to show a progression in the way that Nancy Drew’s character was portrayed. There are five characterizations of Nancy Drew that become apparent in performing a visual analysis of the artwork. The 1930’s Nancy Drew is characterized as bold, capable and independent. She actively seeks out clues, and is shown in the center of the compositions. In subsequent characterizations Nancy Drew becomes progressively weaker, less in control. By the 1990’s there is a complete reversal in the representation of her character. She is often shown being chased or threatened, the confidence of the 1930’s being replaced by fear.
