Nancy Drew 01: the Secret of the Old Clock

This is an awesum read about "Nancy Drew", a sleuth, who is the daughter of "Carson Drew". The story is the first in the Nancy Drew series. The story goes: Mr Josiah Crowley, a shrewd and clever old man, dies and Nancy's so-called enemies the Topham Family claim his last will and testament leaves his sizeable fortune to them. Before he died Mr Crowley stayed with the Topham's so no one knows the whole story of which is the final will. However, he had mentioned to some close friends and family that he would leave something to them each for being good to him. However, where is the final will??? And thus the adventure begins. To tell the whole story would be telling and stealing the excitement but I recommend this book even to adults. Good read. But needless to say the Old Clock holds the key and Nancy Drew is the herione and saves the day!! All's well that ends well though maybe not for the "nasty Tophams". :)

The Secret of the Old Clock was the first of the Nancy Drew stories and it is hard to believe that it was published in 1930 (that is, almost 100 years ago) as it has a certain timeless quality about it. The storyline clips along at a fast pace with Nancy, a 16 year old high school graduate, displaying a very positive 'can do' attitude when facing numerous 'hurdles' in her quest to find a possible missing will. One aspect of the story that surprised me was that Nancy had a driving license in the US (where the story is set) while being just 16 years old. I was even more surprised to discover that this was also possible here in the UK prior to the 1930 Road Traffic Act (when the age requirement was set at 17) and that a mandatory driving test was not required until the 1934 Act over here! I remember my mother telling me how much she enjoyed reading the Nancy Drew stories when she was a young girl in the 1930s. I imagine these stories will seem quite old fashioned and unrealistic to young people today but for me, it was lovely to be able to read a story that my late mother enjoyed as a young girl.

This book is a very great read, brings back to when I first started reading hardy boys and I love the contrast it brings.

This book reminded me a lot of my childhood, when I used to read Tiny books. However Tiny is more a children's book and Nancy Drew is more YA. The book starts with "Nancy Drew, an attractive girl of eighteen, was driving home along a country in her new, dark-blue convertible." I know when it was written, they were living in different and older times, so the writing style is much different than now. Nancy drew is a perfect girl of eighteen years old. She can do everything, and everything happens directly. For example: "I must figure out a way!" Nancy said with determination. "I want to help little Judy." She awoke the next morning thinking about the mystery. I completely missed the part were she got into bed, and now it's already morning?? This happens a lot in the book. There are parts missing that complete the book more. However, it reads very fast. Nancy Drew's character is a fun character, she is curious to everything and wants to solve things. Her dad is eager curious as her and together they solve things. It's very fun to read their bond and how he supports his daughter. But nobody is that perfect at eighteen (or any age). She really likes to help others without getting rewarded and that's something I admire about her! Anyhow, I solved the mystery myself when I finished page 7. The mystery was pretty predictable. I think this book is a fun book to read aloud before your kids bedtime (depending on their age). You can ask them some questions during the reading, like "What do you think will happen next?" But if your an adult, this book will be fun as well because it's a true classic one. The book contains beautiful images. Nancy Drew are classic books, and I really enjoy them. The mystery is predictable but still fun. Will I read more books of Nancy Drew? Yes, I probably will. I have a thing for old and classic books/stories.
