This book was amazing. When my parents told me it was time for bed, I put it under my pillow when they weren't looking but they found it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Bold but Not So Smart *by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2010* Nancy Drew, The Demon of River Heights, is Volume 1 in the full color graphic novel series. Since it is a graphic novel the drawings are absolutely critical. In that department the book is outstanding. The drawings are a treat in and of themselves. Artist Sho Murase, with 3D CG elements by Rachel Ito, creates drawings that pull the reader into the panels in a compelling fashion. One example: pages showing Drew inside a half darkened room, interrupted as she paws through private items, have sunlight passing through the half closed blinds and crossing the apartment-scape and characters in an eye-catching fashion. The effect is mysterious and rather uneasy. Not at all unusual for this graphic novel. The artists really know their craft and put together a mysterious feel that is worth the price of the publication. As this is the heart of a graphic novel, 4 stars.Sadly, the story itself is insubstantial and in no way lives up to the drawings; however, it is interesting to a point. The story line tends to be predictable and has a definite formula feel. Nancy and her two friends are engaged in an investigation into mysterious goings on with an upstart amateur movie company. They quickly encounter villains and danger without even trying. Ms Drew personally narrates the story and her friends somehow come to the rescue when the plot closes on Nancy's worst dilemma. So what else is new? Doesn't every mystery novel follow this path? Every 10 year old will recognize where this is headed even though the personal narrative keeps the reader in the dark as to what the friends are doing (only in the final instance however; up till then Nancy effectively tells us what the friends are up to even though she is not present when the events occur).Critically, The Demon of River Heights fails to show Nancy as especially bright. She is more tenacious and lucky than smart. This is the only Nancy Drew graphic novel I have read so I cannot tell if other novels in the series suffer from the same flaw. I think the author has dramatically underestimated the aptitude of the teen reader. Even the old Nancy Drew movies, black and white as they were, displayed Nancy as especially intelligent as well as bold. In The Demon of River Heights we find a bold Nancy Drew, ready to investigate the smallest clue, but she does not come off as super intelligent. That is a major difference in the "old" Nancy and this graphic adaptation. The old Nancy was smart almost beyond belief. This Nancy is pretty normal in the brainpower department.In my opinion the major appeal of Nancy Drew was her intelligence quotient. By failing in that area the writer has failed entirely. The artists alone make this volume worth buying, but they do their job so well I can recommend the book without hesitation.AD2 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Nancy Drew is ageless. *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2013* I loved Nancy Drew books when I was young and now my daughter does too. It gives us common ground. Plus, she loves that it's in comic style. More pictures, more fun. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/166636610-the-demon-of-river-heights-nancy-drew-graphic-novels-girl](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/166636610-the-demon-of-river-heights-nancy-drew-graphic-novels-girl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
