The Case of the Missing Treasure: A Nancy Drew-Style Mystery!

Some of our favorite books are Nancy Drew Mysteries. Julie read them all the time when she was 7 (a long time ago), and Siena enjoys reading them now with her mom and dad.



We decided it would be a lot of fun to make a Nancy Drew mystery for Siena's parents. They were given clues to find a missing treasure: a voucher for a delicious homemade dessert of their choice!


The first thing we decided to do was to figure out where we were going to hide the clues. We made a list of sneaky hiding places:



Then, we wrote clues on small pieces of pieces of paper and hid them all around the house.


Then we made "the treasure," hid it in the back yard, and waited for the mystery-solving to begin.



It was VERY VERY VERY VERY HARD for Siena's parents to find all of the clues. They couldn't always find the clues on the first try.



However, after much searching, they finally solved the mystery and found the treasure!

Man, you guys were so tricky. We could have used some of Nancy's help.

I was just feeling lucky that no one tried to drug me or knock me out and lock me in a closet. Thanks for the fun adventure.
