The Clue of the Dancing Puppet is the thirty-ninth volume in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series. It was first published in 1962 under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene. The actual author was ghostwriter Harriet Stratemeyer Adams.
Plot
At the Van Pelt estate, home of a local acting troupe, a mysterious dancing puppet haunts the grounds. Nancy, Bess, and George are asked to solve the case, but it will be a dangerous one yet rewarding when an old family mystery comes to light.
Trivia
- While every book mentions that Nancy's mother died when she was only three, this is the only book in the original series that reveals how Mrs. Drew died—she apparently died of some kind of terminal illness (it's never said what the sickness was).
