Nancy Drew's Double Trouble

In Race Against Time, Nancy Drew finds herself juggling two very different and exciting roles. First, she's asked to be the star of a spooky vampire movie! Her friend Ned's college film club is making this movie in an old, deserted mansion. Nancy gets to act and be part of the film crew's fun.

But that's not all! Nancy is also chosen to model for a new beauty product in a series of TV commercials. So, she's busy with acting and modeling, which sounds like a lot of fun.

Two Mysteries to Solve

Even with all her acting and modeling, Nancy, being a super detective, still has two big mysteries to solve.

  • The Missing Racehorse: A very valuable racehorse has been stolen from a nearby farm. This horse is super important because it needs to be back before a big race! Nancy must figure out who took the horse and why. There are many people who might want to cause trouble for the horse's owner.
  • Trouble on Set: While Ned and his friends are trying to film their vampire movie, someone keeps causing problems. These aren't just small pranks; things get serious! When a building suddenly catches fire, Nancy knows this isn't just a game anymore. Someone is trying to ruin the film.

Nancy has to work fast to solve both cases. She needs to find the missing horse before its important race. She also has to help Ned and his friends finish their horror film before the mysterious troublemaker ruins everything for good! It's a race against time for Nancy Drew!
