Even though I am a little old to be still reading these stories I can't help it. I love a good Nancy Drew mystery! This story pulled me in and kept m reading. I enjoyed reading about how smart Nancy was in confusing and outsmarting her captives. Any mystery lover should read Nancy Drew stories just for the pure enjoyment of it.
This was a really great book!!!!!!

I am a book lover and have read at least a chapter book a day. I have read all the Nancy Drew Books and this one was my second favorite! In this book Nancy goes to China to find a missing girl and uncovers a smuggling ring!

"Mystery of the Fire Dragon" was the very first entire Nancy Drew book I have read in its entirety, and I became a fan and tried to get my hands on every Nancy Drew book I can (courtesy of the school and local library)since.The plot is Nancy's aunt had a pair of new neighbors who moved in her building. They were an elder chinese man and his grown daughter Chi Che. Chi Che went missing one day and in an effort to track her down, Nancy (the redhead) and her two constant companions Bess (the blonde) and George (the brunette) stumbled upon a smuggling ring. The action eventually took them to Hong Kong....not before someone threw a flowerpot at Nancy, Bess was abducted, Aunt Heloise' oven exploded, and George have to undergo Oriental drag. And oh yes....Nancy's hot beau Ned Nickerson is revealed to be able to speak Chinese. How convenient.Overall, this is one of the better Nancy Drew mysteries... considering that this book was written in the 1950s/60s, its depiction of its Asian characters are surprisingly non stereotypical; none of them acted like buffoons or know karate. Which is very refreshing.
