A valuable thorough bred ‘Shooting Star’ has been stolen and the owner asks Nancy to investigate.  At the same time Ned is shooting a movie which is being entered into a film contest engendering jealousy and vandalism. 

Nancy Drew can truly do anything she puts her mind to this time she combines horseriding with modelling and being an actress in an amateur production and we know that where Nancy is a mystery is not far behind.  Nice to see her spending a bit of time with Ned who quite often is the neglected boyfriend.   She also shows her caring side by helping a little girl solve her own mystery.  I like the fact that the authors of the books always showed Nancy being kind and helping others.  This one is not a stand out but just a nice story.
