Publisher's Summary:

Nancy and her friends must try to figure out why a girl is acting strangely after visiting a haunted house in this 16th book of the Nancy Drew Diaries, a fresh approach to the classic mystery series.

Nancy's classmate, Willa, needs her help. Willa is convinced something is terribly wrong with her friend Izzy, but everyone has dismissed Willa's concerns, saying it's just teen angst. But Willa thinks it's more than that; she thinks Izzy is possessed.

It all started when Willa and Izzy snuck into an abandoned house with some of their friends. After running around and exploring, Willa went in to the basement and found Izzy staring into space. Izzy was conscious, but she was acting weird - she wouldn't speak and she didn't seem to recognize Willa. And when Izzy finally woke up from her trance, she had no memory of the previous few hours. Since then, Izzy's continued to act strangely. She's usually funny and easygoing, but now she's high strung and has intense fits. Once she even threatened to hurt Willa.

Nancy is sure there's a rational explanation for all of this and has a feeling she'll find it at the "haunted" house. But what she finds has her questioning her resolve. Could Willa be right? Is Izzy possessed by the ghost of Heliotrope Lane?

This is not Nancy Drew!

Oh boy, did this book tick me off! This book has to be the most biggest slap in the face to ND fans and a big insult to fans and Nancy Drew herself! Nancy is so wimpy, immature, and lame in this book. Every few pages, she gets easily scared or shakes from fear or screams in fear. She screams in fear more times than anyone else in the book! Bess and George also have to comfort Nancy sometimes because of her lame behavior! Nancy even has George lead the way in the haunted house when they go there to investigate because she is too scared to! In one scene, she says she is glad she hasn't peed herself from being scared! Um, really? How is this girl supposedly Nancy Drew, and even a detective at that too?? This is not Nancy Drew at all! She even says she investigated haunted houses before, but how can that be if she's scared all the time?? Her timid behavior was a bit annoying in previous books(#12, #13, and #15), but her behavior is worse in this book, way worse! Nancy is not strong, brave, and confident. Also, Bess scares Nancy and laughs. That is so unlike Bess! But Bess was pretty entertaining in this book, she carries around pepper spray and threatens to use it. She also seems to be back to her old self from the old series, she is scared and hungry like she used to be. But back to Nancy. Nancy is sort of determined in this book, but she has to keep telling herself why she is solving the mystery in order to stay determined. I guess she also kinda uses her head in this book, but her behavior overshadows her detective skills and really, the mystery solves itself here. In one scene, where Nancy and Hannah are at the door, getting ready to see who is outside, Hannah has a rolling pin for a weapon and Nancy thinks she should be bringing Hannah out sleuthing instead of Bess and George, basically saying Bess and George are not good sidekicks! Wow Nancy, poor Bess and George. But then Nancy changes her mind at the end, saying there wouldn't be any other two people to face an "angry ghost" with. Um ok then. There is also in one scene that had taken me back a bit.
