Nancy Drew has caught herself in another mystery to solve in this exciting Graphic Novel. She is on a tour of Bio-Domes that have been created by the environmentalist Cheri Goale; in these domes the climate is controlled so that each dome supports its own climate that works independent of the world outside of it. Nancy caught herself in the rainforest one minute and the mountains just a few footsteps away. On the tour Nancy and some friends discover that mold has developed in the rain forest Bio-Dome and is corroding everything inside. As she was exploring this mold another mystery came to be; a creature resembling Big Foot appears in the mold infested Bio-Dome. Through further investigations of where this mold is coming from and how the creature got into the sealed Bio-Dome, Nancy is faced with other mythical creatures such as the Abominable Snowman. As she was chasing this creature she noticed that it shrunk in size when it swam to escape her. Her suspicions led her to question the over-protective environmentalist’s son. Not to her surprise, Cheri Goale’s son, Daniel, had dressed as these creatures to sabotage the Bio-Domes, but why? Nancy learns that Daniel’s motive was to save the Bio-Domes from the press when they learned about where the fuel that powered the Bio-Domes came from. The fuel was illegal and the company that provided it is to blame for it all.
