Definitely better than most of the other "Girl Detective" series books. Although the culprit was not that hard to guess (using the standard Nancy formula that peppered the original books!), the plot was still entertaining. Nancy, George, and Bess visit a small town that seems to have been invaded by aliens. Meanwhile people are being kidnapped and a friend's business is being sabotaged. Nancy must unravel all these mysteries all the while being followed by a reality TV crew. ( )
