But Ada and Isabel, the people who would get the will if no one found a later one,are no help! They hope there isnt a later will.

Josiah Crowley is a very smart man and has great hiding places! The time is running out! The will is going to go to the mean twin sisters who dont even need it, Ada and Isabel! If you read this great story, you will find out if she finds it!!

Summary: Intriging
Review: This review concerns both the original 1930 edition as well as the revised 1959 edition. Josiah Crowley has died and his will states that all of his money is to be left to the rich, snobby Topham family, who only took the old man into their home so that they could get his fortune. However, there are rumors of a second will which would leave the money to people that actually liked and cared for Josiah and who are really in need of it. Desperatley wanting to help these people, Nancy is determined to locate the second will if it exists. The original and revised editions have some differences (aside from the revised being shorter), but basically they tell the same story. Personally, I prefer the original edition. The writing is so much better in the original and the scenes are so well described that you can almost picture yourself there. The revised editions are all stripped of the rich language that characterized the early original editions. The story isn't bad and the mystery isn't very complex, which is understanable given that this is Nancy's first case. This isn't the most exciting book, but it does manage to keep you entertained while you're reading it.

Summary: One of the Better Ones
Review: This review concerns the revised 1959 ed.
Since you have probably heared the synopsis one time to many, Ill just summarize it in a nut-shell; On her first case, Nancy is to find the missing will of Josiah Crowley so his freinds and family can claim thier rightful inheiretence. This, like most of the earlier revisions, is fairly good and follows the original plot pretty well, but only shorter and less descrpitive. Reccomended. Grade: B-

Summary: The Secret of the Old Clock
Review: When you first read, "The Secret of the Old Clock" by Carolyn Keene, you will notice that it is fiction. You will read about mystery, persistence, and suspense.
Nancy Drew is an attractive 18-year-old who is crazy about her dark- blue convertible. She also loves the thrill of getting her hands in any mystery case. She lives with her dad, (Carson drew) who is a very well known lawyer and her housekeeper (Hannah Gruen) in a small country town named, River Heights.
Nancy starts to pull out of her drive way and all of a sudden she sees these two guys pull out of a house in a very large truck, almost hitting a little girl named Judy. She manages to jump up on a brick wall, but looses her balance and falls to the rocky bank. Nancy leaps out of her car and scrambles down the embankment to see if she has broken anything. After examining her she brings Judy to her house and tells Judies aunts what has happened. Apparently the guys who were pulling out were not there to get old items the ladies didn't want they were there to steal the ladies things. After Nancy starts talking to them she finds out that after one of their relatives had past away named Josiah Crowley they were supposed to get some money from him.
Instead, a family named the Tophams (which are very snobby) who had taken him in because they new he had a lot of money. Even though the Tophams knew they would get all of his money. Now, there has been news that there could be a new will stating the money is to be divided among his family. The only two problems are, they can't find the will and if they did the Tophams will do everything in their power to destroy it to avoid having to give up the money. A clue that Nancy has found was the last words out of Crowley's mouth was "Will." So that means there might be another will.
Nancy now goes dangerously snooping, which has its ups and downs. She'll get a clue one minute and thinks she's almost got it, then be frustrated because it's nothing. Nancy truly believes that she will find the will and Crowley's money will be distributed between his real family. She believes she has to solve this mystery or all of Crowley's family will have troubles their whole lives because of her.
This is the start of an amazing adventure for Nancy. Through this mysterious mystery, Nancy not only has a boatload of work to do, but also finds amazing friends. "The Secret of the old Clock" is by far one of the best books I've ever read.
