Nancy Drew and her two best friends (George: she’s a girl, and Bess) go to welcome the movie star Brady Armstrong to their town at the Century Cinema, where he will do a meet and greet with his fans. However, Bess gets kidnapped. They receive a note that says the kidnapper doesn’t want a ransom, he just wants for the Century Cinema not to be destroyed. (The Century Cinema was going to be demolished to make room for a new building.) While Nancy, George, Brady, and Nancy’s father try to figure out where Bess is being kept, they get another note saying she's being kept in the Cinema. After some negotiating, they delay the demolition long enough to find Bess and learn who took her. The find her, and learn that Joseph, the Janitor, kidnapped her because he didn’t want the Cinema to get demolished. They save the Cinema, and then the all get a behind-the-scenes tour of the movie set from Brady Armstrong. This was a decent book, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a short read.
