An awesome Nancy Drew book that carries not only a mystery, but a very cool look into the past. Nancy, Bess and George are volunteering in this "living history museum" village where everything and everyone is basically reinacted the way it was in the 1830s. Of course, as usual, there is an ulterior motive in doing this: Weird things have been going on there lately, and a friend who works there thinks money is being stolen, so of course Nancy has to investigate. I don't think she anticipated fires, ghostly appearances by a "Lantern Lady", and eeiry warnings. But she takes them all in stride as usual, and hunts down clue after clue. The final revealation of the culprit definitely shocked me, and then, as usual, I went "wait a second, why didn't I see it earlier?" ( )

Je n'ai pas trop aimé le style d'écriture du livre. C'est traduit de l'anglais mais la traduction n'est pas bonne. J'y ai trop rencontré le mot "prudence". C'était assez facile à lire, même trop facile. En fait "Alice et la dame à la lanterne" était un peu ennuyeux, car il manquait de l'action. Certains passages n'étaient pas très clairs car on ne comprenait pas bien ce qui se passait. Mais si vous aimez les mystères, peut-être que vous aimerez ce livre. De plus, le traducteur utilise beaucoup de mots anglais comme "rocking chair". (Juliette M.) ( )
