The Secret of the Forgotten City by Carolyn KeeneMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
This is a novel about Nancy Drew’s adventures about re-discovering and locating a lost Indian city, as well as the gold treasure hidden therein. The treasure hunt is joined by her two best friends Bess and George, their respective boyfriends and some students from the University of Nevada. The gold digging is carried out with the help of clues and symbols depicted on seven petroglyphs, each featuring a moon phase symbol, and a shiny golden chuckwalla symbol.
While the thief named Fleetfoot Joe tries to stop then, to warn them and to create obstacles repeatedly in their way, he is in the end caught and arrested by the police.
In the end, Nancy almost loses her life to the waters of underground river, but comes out saving her life, as well as discovering the package with the ancient gold plates.
This is one of my favourite novels from the entire Nancy Drew-Carolyn Keene series. Part because it features India, my hometown, and part because of its plot which features the gold-digging theme which matches many of the Indian mythological texts.
I immensely enjoyed reading it!
