Ooh! Got this for Christmas in third grade. It was a bit too advanced for me, but I remember reading it in fourth grade and wishing Nancy could be my babysitter.This is Nancy's very first mystery in which she searches for a missing will. Joshua Crowley has been dead for a few months and when Nancy comes across several people telling her that he had promised to remember them in his will, but didn't, she gets curious. Determined to find the will, especially because it benefited a rich local family that Nancy didn't like, she sets out on her first adventure.There is a bit of class discrimination in this book towards the nouveau riche family, who annoyed
Clearly this book was not written for me, a 47-year-old grump, but I read it anyway, because Nancy Drew is iconic. I read a few Hardy Boys books as a kid and it dawned on me that I'd never read a Nancy Drew, so I figured I ought to rectify that just so I know what the frick I'm talking about. The Secret of the Old Clock was not particularly exciting. Everything came very easily for our Mary Sue heroine. Characters were painted with broad strokes and the color gray was entirely missing. Luck
I think Nancy drew was the beginning of the end for me. Her adventures and the mysteries that she solved made me yearn to solve my own. This made me inquisitive, leading to a job as a journalist at 14. It also made me want to write. And here I am...just a few years later (Ok, more than a few), and I'm a writer of suspense, mysteries and thrillers! :) Go figure.I recommend this book for pre-teens and young teens. It's a great escape. And for women who want to remember a piece of their youth, pick
I see this edition is actually a postcard book, but I wanted to review The Secret of the Old Clock with its proper cover.This was the first chapter book I ever read. I have a very clear memory of my mom giving it to me in the car on the way back from Palo Alto, which can't possibly be correct because she wouldn't have handed me a book while driving on the freeway. Maybe she gave it to me before we started driving, and I was reading it in the car? It's kind of a mystery.Anyway, these books taught
I broke with our usual pattern around these parts and decided to read some Nancy Drew before Brontë took it on. She had three books she was trying to choose from at the beginning of the month: The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, Stardust and The Secret of the Old Clock. She said she needed "a break" from longer books after having read Murder on the Orient Express and Poison Study, so she picked the Farley Mowat. She tossed Nancy Drew aside, and I decided to pick it up. I am so glad I did because I love a
What if goodreads doesn't adhere to half-stars rating system? We have always the option of providing us with one ourselves, don't we?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- roughly the equivalent of 4.5 stars, but still remains higher than 5? Serves my propensity for loose rating very well! We now know what 18 year old girls of yore, who didn't live their lives at the rate of 20 texts per minute, 50 cuss words per hour, 30 books per month, were doing when they had nothing important to do- driving around the town in their
