Recent flooding of the river has left many homeless. Luckily Helping Homes has plans to convert an abandoned foundry to apartments, and Nancy, Bess, and George have volunteered to help. In fact, so has the University of Lowell basketball team, including local star forward J.C. Valdez. It seems not everyone is excited about the project, though. A vandal seems intent on wreaking havoc at the site, as well as leaving threatening messages for J.C. Luckily Nancy is around to investigate!

Personally I think in terms of plot this is one of my favorites so far, but the solution was obvious to me since none of the other options were plausible. Or maybe I'm just a better detective than Nancy! ( )

A good book, but sort of predictable... one of the few Nancy Drew books where I actually guessed the criminal long before Nancy did. ( )
