I remember hiding under the covers with a flashlight late at night reading Nancy Drew books as a young girl. I always loved the adventures, the intrigue and the excitement that Nancy provided. I always felt like she was a good friend of mine even if she was only a character in a book.
Children everywhere are continuing to form friendships with Nancy Drew today through the ever popular Nancy Drew PC games from HerInteractive…and I continue to love her as much today as I did when I was a young girl. However, the games are not only great for young girls, they are great for women of all ages and don’t tell, but my son even loves to play.
In Nancy Drew: Trail of the Twister, Nancy Drew goes undercover as a competitive storm chaser in this new mystery, set in Oklahoma during the tornado season. Teams are competing for a $100,000,000 prize for discovering a prediction formula for tornadoes, but something is not quite right… To solve the mystery of who is sabotaging the storm chasing team, Nancy is thrust into a world of wild weather, high technology, secret conversations, mysterious dealings, and ulterior motives…
Key Features:
*Play as Nancy Drew and go undercover as a storm chaser.
*Immerse yourself in meteorology by studying clouds, reading Doppler data, and surviving tornadoes.
*Collect pennies by playing arcade games to purchase candy from the store.
*Choose from Junior or Senior Detective difficulty levels
In Trail of the Twister, the 22nd game in the Nancy Drew series, you will weather more than just the weather. Wrecked cars, broken legs, faulty equipment. These game are rated for ages 10 and up but even my friends 7 year old loves them and begs to play every time she is over. I also know a 40 year old (ahem) that loves to play them. Fun, excitement and adventure. That is what you will find in Nancy Drew’s Trail of the Twister!
In the first game in the series, Secrets Can Kill, you will work to expose the deception that a death should have silenced. Jake Rogers is murdered and his killer is on the loose. A secret died with him and it is your job to read between the lines and expose the culprit.
As a tribute to Nancy Drew’s 80th Anniversary, HerInteractive remastered the game that launched the award-winning adventure series. With completely redesigned characters, updated graphics, new puzzles and a new ending, this special edition of Secrets Can Kill will appeal to old and new fans alike.
Key Features:
*New ending
*New challenging puzzles
*Updated graphics
*Single installation – no switching between discs necessary
For great clean, fun entertainment I highly recommend the Nancy Drew games. We have all enjoyed them regardless of our game playing abilities and age.

Well, I made it. I hit the big 40 today. It has been a relatively quiet day, thank goodness. My Mom and I went to breakfast this morning. We decided on Shoney’s Breakfast Bar because she isn’t going to be able to eat again for awhile. She is having surgery on Friday so we decided it best to stuff her as full as we could get her. I found out that my sister got me these:
In ORANGE!!!
So excited. They were back-ordered but I should be receiving them soon and I can’t wait to wear them and have Happy Feet.
I didn’t ask for anything this year. I got my notebook computer last year and my camera earlier this year so there wasn’t really anything that I needed, but I was thrilled when I found out about the shoes. Then my kids got me a really cute outfit that is going to go perfectly with my chucks.
It has been a great day all around. Now if I can just survive the rest of the week.
