The Sky Phantom (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories ; 53) by Carolyn Keene
Card catalog description While vacationing in the Midwest with her friends, Nancy Drew investigates a mysterious magnetic cloud, searches for a hijacked plane, and hunts a horse thief. Reader Reviews One Of The Better Of The Higher Volumes, July 26, 2003 Reviewer: jtthiel from Nova Scotia, Canada Nancy, Bess and George go to a ranch in the midwest where Bess and George perfect their horseback riding while Nancy takes flying lessons at a nearby school. While on a lesson, Nancy finds an abandonned plane and wonders what happened to its missing pilot. Later, the plane disappears as well, along with a pony from the ranch and Nancy works to solve both mysteries. Also, Bess is faced with a tough situation when she becomes interested in a cowboy from the ranch. This is one of the better of the higher volumes; although, that isn't saying much since practically all of the books from 35 up are garbage. The mystery in this one isn't too bad and their is a moderate amount of action in the book. Thankfully, the girls don't go to an actual place so the book doesn't read like a tour guide. I liked the part about Bess' dilemma. Though it wasn't thrilling reading, I found that it made the characters seem more real. I would say that this book is worth reading, but just once. I don't see myself wanting to read this book again in the near future.
