Product Description

Product Description
Nancy, Bess, and George are off to Key Largo, Florida for a week of sun, swimming and exploring the fabulous coral reef that stretches along the Florida keys. They've been invited by Delia Duke, a friend of theirs who is a marine biologist at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. The park is a scuba diver's delight, with dazzling corals and tropical fish, and Delia promises to show the girls the best snorkling and diving spots. But as they head through the mangroves towards her boat, someone takes off in a small motor boat, leaving behind a bag filled with rare, endangered butterfly orchids. This is just the beginning of a shocking eco-mystery that'd be too complex for anyone but Nancy Drew...

2.0 out of 5 stars MATURE FOR THE SELECTED AGE GROUP.............., 1 Dec 2007
By L. Hay "Saturnicus" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I was attracted to the title like a bee to a flower. Aimed at the 9-12 age group, I felt it lacked the sparkle of Blyton. However, it is modern and written principally for the American reader, I don't know if it would have the same appeal for the British child.
Having said that, it is a mystery, and perhaps the modern child will identify better with the "cell" phone and the computer contained therein. The characters are presumbly in their twenties and children may regard them as too grown up for their taste.
The lessons on conservation are relevent today and they certainly will not learn any bad lessons from this type of book. It would be well worthwhile giving it to one's children or grandchildren to test their reaction. It was an OK read but didn't ring any bells for me, but then I am long in the tooth. As a lifetime devotee of children's books of the forties to sixties period, I cannot see this having a liftime fan following. I think children will read it and forget it.

5.0 out of 5 stars orchid thief, 17 Oct 2008
I am 8 years old and this is the first Nancy Drew book I have read. The story is about a girl and her two cousins who come to a place in Florida when their friend calls for help. They rent out a car and drive to Florida but they get lost. When they finally get there they find out that someone is stealing orchids. They find their friend and their main suspect but things get weird. Everywhere they go there are lots of suspicious characters but they need to find the true thief. The best thing about this book was when they get trapped as they don't know how they are going to get rescued. The thing I did not like about the book was that it was too short. I could not put it down.
