Nancy Drew never gets old! This story is about 18 year old Nancy Drew. In this story, Nancy meets the Turner sisters. Two sisters who are very poor. While talking to the sisters, Nancy discovers a relative that promised to keep the Turner family in money, but he actually left his money to a snobby family whom he didn't like. Nancy goes on a mission to uncover why the relative didn't leave money to the Turners like he said he would.
This is a fun read and would be a good book to teach predictability.
