Nancy Drew 24: the Clue in the Old Album (Nancy Drew, #24)

[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

After chasing down a pickpocket and returning it to her owner, and elderly woman (why are Nancy's clients always elderly?) and her precocious granddaughter Rose. It turns out that not only was the woman's purse stolen but also a valuable doll in her doll collection. The twist is that it is believed to be taken by gypsies.

After reading this story I've come to the conclusion the Nancy was that generation's Bella Swan. First, they are both from a single parent household,with the father being the primary parent. They are very trendy in their dress, Nancy in her smart dress suits and Bella in whatever fashionable outfit Alice puts on her. Ned Nickerson and Edward Cullen are both super cute and willing to jump out on a limb for their girl. Who wouldn't want Ned Nickerson by your side? Especially as a lifeguard. Lastly, Nancy and Bella always find a way to get into trouble and mystery. In Nancy's latest adventure she was kidnapped by the gypsies and on the verge of being taken away from River Heights for good. Bella on the other hand ran to the vampires, falling into their trap and almost taking her life. Putting aside these few similarities, I still prefer good old Nancy Drew.
