Book Reviews of The Demon of River Heights (Nancy Drew Graphic Novels: Girl Detective #1)
Book Review: A comic book for girls
Summary: 4 Stars
My 11-year old daughter absolutely loves this book. She describes it as "a comic book, but good!!!" She can't wait for more to be published. I think the photos are a bit strange (the characters don't look like how I expected them to), but she has read it over and over again happily.

"Nancy turns seventy-five, and, having sold more than two hundred million books, she has been rewarded with a twenty-first-century makeover . . . The contemporary Nancy is more attuned to emotional issues than the old Nancy, as one can only expect in our therapeutic age."-Meghan O'Rourke, The New Yorker

"The latest incarnation of children's literature's most famous girl detective is this crisp, stylish graphic novel. Although fully updated with new stories; dark, edgy illustrations; and all the latest technological gadgets, the plot is drawn out in classic Carolyn Keene-style-all action at a brisk pace. Nancy tracks down two missing film students while uncovering a businessman's sinister plot to blow up a depleted iron mine. While investigating, she fights off a bear, gets lost in the woods, falls down a mineshaft, and reveals the identity of the Demon of River Heights, all without a scratch or a hair out of place. The sleuth's 21st-century makeover introduces traditional mysteries to the world of juvenile graphic novels, and is most welcome."-Karen T.
