Bookroo's summary

Nancy Drew faces a puzzling omen left on her lawn, linking her to a case involving a rare bird farm under threat. As superstitions and danger escalate, Nancy and her friend Ned become targets. Can she help the community overcome their fears and stop the ruthless takeover? Dive into a suspenseful adventure where every clue could be a trap, and every ally might be a foe. Will Nancy solve the mystery before the farm is lost forever?

From the publisher

A bird of ill omen is mysteriously left on the Drews’ front lawn. Did the person who put it there do so with the intent of jinxing Nancy and her father? This strange incident involves Nancy in her famous father’s case concerning a rare bird farm threatened with destruction to make room for a high-rise apartment house complex. People who are opposed to the ruthless take-over of the farm are being made the victims of jinxing by bad luck symbols and other threats to their safety. Even Nancy and her friend Ned Nickerson become targets!

Nancy soon realizes that helping honest people to overcome their superstitions and fears can be as challenging as tracking down criminals. The young detective’s thrilling adventures will keep the reader in breathless suspense from the first page to the last.
