Solidly average all around. I enjoyed reading through my school library's Nancy Drew collection in middle school, but I hadn't quite remembered how solidly aimed at middle schoolers the writing was. Maybe not an exciting read for an adult, but I had fun rereading Nancy's adventure with all it's "luncheon" breaks and her delightfully polite character. She's quite refreshing, compared to the broody detectives more common in adult mysteries.
