The Mystery of the Dancing Puppet
In this story, Nancy Drew, along with her friends Bess and George, visits the Van Pelt estate. This old estate is home to a local acting group called the Footlighters. But something strange is happening there. A mysterious dancing puppet keeps appearing! It seems to be haunting the grounds.
Nancy, Bess, and George are asked to help solve this puzzle. They soon find out that this case will be full of danger. However, it will also be very rewarding. As they investigate, an old family secret starts to come to light.
Unraveling the Clues
From the moment Nancy and her friends arrive, the puppet mystery gets more complicated. The Footlighters have a leading actress who is very temperamental. There is also a dramatic Shakespearean actor. Both of them add to the strange atmosphere.
Nancy searches the mansion's dark, dusty attic for clues. She hopes to find answers to the weird mystery. During her investigation, she also meets two people. These individuals are suspected of stealing jewels. This new twist makes the puzzle even harder to solve. Nancy must use all her detective skills to figure out who is behind the dancing puppet and uncover the truth.
