Format:Hardcover
Nancy receives a moonstone as a gift from an anonymous person. Mr. Drew enlists Nancy to help him with his latest case. The Bowens, a missionary couple, have recently returned from Africa and have been looking for their granddaughter without success. The girl went to live with her other grandmother in the town of Deep River after the deaths of her parents when she was a baby. However, the grandmother died shortly after that and all trace of the girl has been lost. When the girls arrive in Deep River they see Moonstone Castle in the distance and decide to explore it. This was a very boring book with a dull mystery and almost zero action. The summary in the book suggests that the castle is haunted, but that is never really mentioned in the book itself. Nancy doesn't do any brilliant detective work to find the missing girl, instead she basically stumbles upon her. I'd only recommend getting this book to complete your set.

When Nancy receives a valuable moonstone as a gift from a unknown person she is puzzled. It's only the first of many startling events that send Nancy, Bess, and George, to Deep River.
The Bowens who are missionairies have just returned to the U.S. are having trouble locating their granddaughter. The whereabouts of the girl are unknown. She had apparently lived with Mrs. Horton her guardian grandmother who had passed away 14 years earlier.
From the motel Nancy, Bess, and George are staying they see a castlelike structure. Local gossipers believe the castle may be haunted. Curious the three girls attempt to explore the abandoned castle only to hear a voice warning them to keep away.
Other strange happenings around Deep River convince Nancy that the castle may be connected with young girls disappearance. She believes a gang of forgers may be using the castle as a hideout as well.
This book it seems just coasted along. There was hardly any interaction with the criminals as in other Nancy Drew books. It seems that the thieves were way to easy to catch and didn't put up much of a fight to evade capture. This book could've and should've been better then what it actually was.

I have read 15 Nancy Drew books so far and my favorite was: The Clue In The Broken Locket. I'd just thought I'd say that! I was really excited to read this one because of a castle and stuff and in the summary it said it was a little bit spooky. Well it was really boring and there was too much happening at the same time. The castle parts were really boring and so0o0 not exciting. And all they did was eat at that stinkin brass kettle.
But some parts were good?

This book was somthing that I was always in the mood to read. I was solving the mystery right along with Nancy. Just when you think you have figured it out it completely changes. Read more
