Tammi reminded me of the character Victoria Clue of the Dancing Puppet played in Spectacular! This one was enjoyable indeed. Jan 24, Shannon rated it really liked it Shelves: Apr 13, Shannon rated it liked it Shelves: books-i-own I was cleaning and I stumbled upon a bunch of these Nancy Drew books. My mom and grandma used to buy them for me each trip to Half Price way back in the day and I remember being super obessed with this series. Unfortunately, I had to throw like half of the ones I found away because they were mildewy. It's not a good idea!! The Clue of the Dancing Puppet was a fun read. I don't think it was the best Nancy Drew book I've ever read, but it wasn't horr I was cleaning and I stumbled upon a bunch of these Nancy Drew books. I don't think it was the best Nancy Drew book I've ever read, but it wasn't horrible. The way the puppet was described was creepy and I wish there had been more of the actual puppet doing stuff. There was so much focus on millions of other things happening that I wondered how all these events were going to factor into the Clue of the Dancing Puppet mystery. The ending itself was alright and everything came together, but I'm still sort of confused as to what was done by who. This was actually for the most part unintentionally hilarious. Since this was written in the 60's, it's a bit dated in certain ways. I also found myself cracking up at the constant 'knocking out' of Nancy throughout the series. One of Mr. Drew's clients has a mystery for Nancy to solve and so she and Bess and George head out to the Van Pelt estate. Nancy is seriously only in the house all of three minutes and she's cannon ball bludgeoned by some unseen person and then literally ten pages later there's another scene where she's rendered unconcious again. Nancy could probably be considered a Mary Sue nowadays, but I didn't care or get as annoyed as I should have gotten. Nancy is Clue of the Dancing Puppet much Clue of the Dancing Puppet best at everything. She's the prettiest, smartest, etc. She also possesses a wealth of acting talent and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the mysteries take her to a haunting at an old steel plant and Clue of the Dancing Puppet ends up being an amazing engineer as well. Jul 31, John Yelverton rated it it was amazing. Yet another excellent addition to the Nancy Drew mystery book series. Aug 05, Whitney rated it really liked it Shelves: nancy-drew. I can feel free to criticize this Nancy adventure. The whole plot is centered around white bread and vanilla type things: summer stock theater, costumes, puppets, etc. It is so fun how Clue of the Dancing Puppet always gets into these mysteries intending to be "under the radar," or "Behind the scenes," but inevitably she lands herself the lead part in a Clue of the Dancing Puppet, and everyone thinks she's better than the professionally trained starlet who unfortunately lost her Clue of the Dancing Puppet during the very same week that Nancy is in residence. And it is sweet how Nancy's friend Bess, who is the one who actually WANTED to be in the theater group, is very glad for Nancy, even though it seems like Bess herself did not get a big part in the play. Bess has been "stage struck" all summer, and she has been "reducing" to fit herself into sample size costumes, I guess? No luck for Bess, but you know what, Bess keeps her envy to herself. She really does not want to get all the attention that Nancy gets, as Nancy gets attacked by giant puppets and a cannon ball is mysteriously dropped on her head. Mechanical things, stolen jewelry, and mean people from California round out this caper! May 18, Abby rated it really liked it. I love these books! Feb 23, Alexis Jade rated it really liked it Shelves: Clue of the Dancing Puppet. I was going through some of things when I discovered this worn out book that I read when I was in 3'rd grade. I skimmed through it and remembered it immediately. A clear thing I remember about this is that I remember my copy was from a library, but I lost it and was so freaked Clue of the Dancing Puppet. Turns out the librarian didn't even care for this book Can you believe it? Some book lover. On to the point, I also remember Clue of the Dancing Puppet book a lot. The plot, char I was going through some of things when I discovered this worn out book that I read when I was in 3'rd grade. The plot, characters, everything. It was creepier than other Nancy Drew books and I loved every moment of it. From then on I told myself I was going to read every Nancy Drew book, but turns out I only read five.
