Episode 64: Nancy Drew Goes On Safari!

Kelly & Karen
About this episode

In Episode 64, we talk about Nancy Drew and the Spider Sapphire Mystery! But first: Karen is moving into her hammock, Kelly is off to the Space Needle, and we learn a new vocab word: ossicones! Giraffes aside, Ned and George get 'napped, Gwen gets reformed and needs her own book, the Emerson guys get in a "dust-em-up" and lose horribly, and Nancy sings the amnesia right outta' someone. We both want to go to Africa after reading this book, which you probably will too - caveat being, you've gotta do it Nancy Style with full amenities.

Rated 8.5 / 12 deadly suitcases
