For 13-year-old Ronnie Day, life is full of problems: Mom and Dad have separated, his brother Tim is a constant pest, Melanie Ward either loves him or hates him, and Jesus Christ won't stay in his heart.

Review:
Another mystery in the Nancy Drew series, this time taking on a rather fashionable side of things. Nancy helps out a fashion designer who is recieving death threats. A thrilling story that keeps you on the edge right to the end. Like all the others, it's worth a read.

A few hours later, when Rafferty vanished, Wilcox and his fellow troopers knew the car was worse than dangerous -- and that it would be better if John Q. Public never found out about it. Curt's avid curiosity taking the lead, they investigated as best they could, as much as they dared. Over the years the troop absorbed the mystery as part of the background to their work, the Buick...
