I seem to be the only reader on Goodreads who thinks that this is a one-star read, but I really feel that The Sky Phantom is quite possibly the worst of the Nancy Drew yellow spine the original series novels. Usually the story centers around one premise - Nancy and her friends visiting a horse ranch, or The Sky Phantom taking flying lessons, for example. Instead, The Sky Phantom has Nancy taking flying lessons at the same time that she and her friends are vacationing at a horse ranch, and the attempt to I seem to be the only reader on Goodreads who thinks that this is a one-star read, but I really feel that The Sky Phantom is quite possibly the worst of the Nancy Drew yellow spine the original series novels. Instead, The Sky Phantom has Nancy taking flying lessons at the same time that she and her friends are vacationing at a horse ranch, and the attempt to include events at both the ranch and the flying school, not to mention details about oil prospecting, made everything feel rushed and jumbled. Characters popped in and out of the story even more quickly than usual, so their actions sometimes didn't make a whole lot of sense. Most of the time, Nancy's hunches had absolutely no basis in external clues whatsoever - usually she will have some cursory reason for her hunches. Yet her hunches always turned out to be correct. It seemed like the story itself was willed into being The Sky Phantom Nancy wanted it to be. And no one seems overly concerned for the safety of the kidnapping victim, just mildly concerned that something is amiss. Not that I expect my Nancy Drew novels to be overly realistic or well written, but usually the plot and the characters make more sense then they do in The Sky Phantom. Another Goodreads reviewer pointed out that in The Sky Phantom, Bess shows more maturity than the other girls, as she is confronted with a marriage proposal and forced to make a choice between her "friend" Dave whom she regularly dates and the young cowboy who asks for her hand. The same Goodreads reviewer also points out that this situation leads Nancy to show more empathy toward her friend than normal. But I disagree with the reviewer's overall assessment of this situation, which I think The Sky Phantom just adds even more noise to The Sky Phantom already overflowing novel, as opposed to depth. Said reviewer feels that "Nancy almost shows some compassion for once. In fact, while her actions in The Sky Phantom are often empathetic The Sky Phantom Bess while her friend is sitting in front of her weeping, The Sky Phantom doesn't give a single The Sky Phantom to Bess's emotional well being when she is off doing other things. I can say that Nancy gives some decent advice to Bess, The Sky Phantom a bit more insight into serious relationships than she does in other novels. And to her credit, Bess's cousin George actually refrains from teasing The Sky Phantom 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 The Sky Phantom 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 The Sky Phantom 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 The Sky Phantom weren't for you, something interesting may have happened. Jul 13, Sarah rated The Sky Phantom 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 The Sky Phantom 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 The Sky Phantom 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 The Sky Phantom at whatever she sets out to do. In this one, she is an The Sky Phantom 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.
