At once the young sleuth is confronted with the mystery of a hyjacked plane and a missing pilot. The Sky Phantom (Nancy Drew Series #53) by Carolyn Keene, Hardcover | Barnes & Noble® And to her credit, Bess's cousin George actually refrains from teasing Bess about being fat while she's in the middle of her emotional crisis. But both Nancy and George display an out of sight, out of mind attitude towards Bess's very serious emotional situation. In contrast, in other novels, Nancy often considers the plight of elderly women, young children and young mothers that she has resolved to help, even when she is not in their presence. She often goes and gets groceries, helps cook meals, and does other things to assist these people, even while she is also actively trying to solve the mystery and find a longer term solution to their problems. The pervading attitude is more like, "Oh dear, Roger has disappeared and no one has heard from him for weeks. He is such a nice young man, I hope nothing bad has happened to him. I think we should make a search for him, because we're all somewhat curious as to why he might have disappeared. It's a mystery! Because of the lack of any sort of useful clues to support most of Nancy's hunches, the jumbled and overflowing plot that tries to cram in details about both the horse ranch and the flying school, and the lack of any realistic sense of compassion or pressing anxiety for the kidnapping victim in the story, I just don't feel that The Sky Phantom matches up to mist of the rest of the yellow spine Nancy Drew novels. But hey, I learned a little bit more about flying an airplane, and now I can say that I have reread all 56 volumes of the original series as an adult. Jul 31, John Yelverton rated it it was amazing. Great Nancy Drew story as she hunts down hijackers Sep 10, Danny Reid rated it liked it. Love a book that has a dozen red herrings and the villain turns out to be It's some random dude. Hi, random dude, thanks for popping up in literally the last chapter, if it weren't for you, something interesting may have happened. Jul 13, Sarah rated it it was ok. So like, this book was pretty much nonsense. I read it aloud to my daughter and she enjoyed it well enough, though she also enjoyed laughing at some of the more I loved Nancy Drew as a kid, and I'd like to revisit some others, because I suspect this one is just kind of wacky. But it's pretty much not really a mystery in any traditional sense, just a sort of flailing about while decoding secret messages and musing calmly as to where the kid So like, this book was pretty much nonsense. But it's pretty much not really a mystery in any traditional sense, just a sort of flailing about while decoding secret messages and musing calmly as to where the kidnapping victim could be and then oh hey suddenly it's over! I appreciated the degree to which Nancy is just automatically the best at everything - no really, I know that's silly but for the target demo I think it's fine. It's not every day that we meet a series willing to assume the female protagonist is just super ultra capable and great at whatever she sets out to do. In this one, she is an excellent pilot and an experienced horseback rider, because of course she is. She's also super chill about all her near-death experiences and pretty much relaxed about her friend's relationship crisis. I don't know, I have feelings. I don't regret reading this, it was just so super weird. View 1 comment. Jan 21, Whitney rated it it was ok Shelves: nancy-drew. A lot goes on in this s Nancy book. She is taking flying lessons. Also, she and her friends are living nearby at a horse ranch. Well, unfortunately, not everyone defies death. The ranchers need to put a wounded horse named Speed Boy out of his misery, because an enemy shoots him in the leg. Nancy and her friends Bess and George attempt to catch the culprits, when Bess isn't busy screaming. But since it happens in the ni A lot goes on in this s Nancy book. But since it happens in the night, the villain escapes, and the set of two young men ranchers have the job of saying bye to Speed Boy, and then burying him. How they manage to create a hole in rocky soil, big enough for a full-sized horse, in the middle of the night, is not disclosed in the plot. Bess has a big personal problem. She has a "cowboy friend" named Chuck, who asks her to marry him. She bursts into tears on multiple occasions, because she does not want her "favorite date," named Dave, to discover her mixed feelings. George, Bess's cousin, and by the way, George is a GIRL, which is clearly stated in each and every novel, is predictably heartless about Bess's upset. But hey, on the bright side of Bess's day, at least George is criticizing Bess for her indecision about men, rather than her usual criticism of the things that Bess is eating. What a way to be, George! Lighthearted moments in the plot include a funny video of Nancy driving a plane in reverse on the runway, and also a costume party at the ranch. The MYSTERY is a large cloud that is in the sky every single day, and also the cloud can change shape, to appear like animals in threatening stances. Nancy flies her plane through the cloud and almost crashes. A weird perhaps drug-inspired moment, endured by whatever person was working on the story, occurs when Nancy explores a cave, gets trampled by mice, and then she gets soaked in crude oil and barely slides her way out of the cave alive! It's just a random part of the plot. And for some reason, when Nancy gets the idea to check out the acreage of ground beneath the cloud, she is the first person to do this. I don't think anyone actually finds out what's in the box. I'm not joking. Mar 02, Secundra rated it it was ok. Nancy is taking flying lessons while Bess and George are vacationing at a dude ranch. During a flying lesson Bess and George point to Nancy and her instructor to a plane with a missing pilot. Also at the same time a palomino horse was missing. I was immediately hooked! Then the plot changes to a sub story on a rancher at the dude ranch named Chuck Chase. Bess begins to fall in love with him. Bess is having a wonderful time until George goes on a read I loved the initial start of the book. Bess is having a wonderful time until George goes on a verbal assault, reminding her that she has a boyfriend Dave back at River Heights.
