This is the fifteenth game in the Nancy Drew adventure series. It is based on Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #143: Mystery on Maui. It actually takes place before Danger by Design in the same year, so Nancy probably time traveled like she did in Secret of the Old Clock.
Plot
Nancy's dad sees an ad for an assistant to an entymologist (bug scientist) in Maui, Hawaii, and lets Nancy volunteer. Upon her arrival, though, Nancy discovers the Hardy Boys are there as well on their own mystery for ATAC! They have to figure out if the Mapus, running Big Island Mike's Immersion Excursion center, have any dark secrets before being used in an ad for Richard Aikens. As Nancy investigates bugs, she soon realizes that the pineapple crops on the island are disappearing, and that maybe her and the Hardy Boys' investigations are connected...Could the pineapples be disappearing because of Rough Skinned Man, or Kane Okala, the man sacrificed into the volcano above Kapu Cave that survived?
