The Mystery of the Missing Pearl
Nancy Drew is a super-smart detective. In this story, she gets a special request. She needs to find a missing pearl. This isn't just any pearl; it's very rare and worth a lot of money!
Dangerous Clues and a Trip to Japan
Nancy quickly discovers that some dangerous people stole the pearl. These people start bothering her at home. Things get even more intense when Nancy and her father travel to Japan. The thieves follow them there!
Kidnapped!
After their trip, Nancy and her boyfriend, Ned, return to River Heights. But the danger isn't over. The criminals actually kidnap them! Nancy must use all her detective skills to escape.
Uncovering Secrets
Nancy is very clever. She manages to learn about a secret group that really values pearls. But some members of this group are not honest. She also uncovers some tricky business dealings. These dealings involve certain employees at World Wide Gems, Inc. This is a big international jewelry company located in Tokyo, Japan. Nancy works hard to solve the mystery and bring the criminals to justice.
Video Game Adaptation
This book also inspired a video game! The game is called Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge. It's the 23rd game in the Nancy Drew point-and-click adventure game series. The game was made by a company called Her Interactive. It uses ideas from The Thirteenth Pearl and another Nancy Drew book called Tour of Danger.
