Can Nancy's sleuthing skills unravel the truth before superstition derails her investigation? Discover the fascinating solution to this puzzling case.

From the publisher

When a neighbor asks Nancy Drew to accompany her to an old uninhabited mansion, a new mystery opens ups, and danger lurks on the second floor. Nancy finds a witch tree symbol that leads her to Pennsylvania Dutch country in pursuit of a cunning and ruthless thief.

The friendly welcome the young detective and her friends receive from the Amish people soon changes to hostility when it is rumored that Nancy is a witch! Superstition helps her adversary in his attempt to get her off his trail, but Nancy does not give up. Persistently she uncovers one clue after another.

Nancy’s intelligence and sleuthing ability finally lead to the fascinating solution of this puzzling case.
