Nancy Drew faces a dual mystery at Excello Flying School: a hijacked plane with a missing pilot and a stolen prize pony. As she navigates the skies and rides the trails, a mysterious medal offers a crucial clue. Meanwhile, her friend Bess finds romance with a charming cowboy. Can Nancy unravel the secrets of a strange magnetic cloud and catch the elusive culprits before it's too late? Dive into a whirlwind of adventure and intrigue as Nancy races against time to solve the case.

From the publisher

Nancy goes to Excello Flying School in the Midwest to take lessons, while her friends Bess and George perfect their horseback riding. But soon the young sleuth is confronted with the mystery of a hijacked plane and a missing pilot. Then the rancher’s prize pony, Major, is stolen. Nancy becomes a detective in a plane and on horseback to track down the elusive sky phantom and the horse thief. A lucky find – a medal with a message to be deciphered on it – furnishes a worthwhile clue. Romance is added to mystery when Bess becomes interested in a handsome cowboy. Readers will spur Nancy on as she investigates a strange magnetic cloud, hunts for the horse thief, and finally arrives at a surprising solution.
