Rating:  Summary: A good Nancy Drew mystery... Review: I read both the 1930 and 1959 versions of this book. Both are just as entertaining, only the original version is better written. Unfortunately, the 1930 version also contains some of the worst Black stereo-typing of the series, but otherwise, it's a good book.
Rating:  Summary: It all Started Here Review: Nancy Drew is heading home when she witnesses a little girl almost get hit by a truck. This chance meeting with Judy and her aunts leads Nancy into her first mystery. The aunts were counting on inheriting money from their cousin Josiah Crowley. But other relatives have produced a will that leaves everything to them. When Nancy begins to realize the plight of everyone left out of the will, she feels she must investigate. But where might the real will be hidden?I read many of Nancy's mysteries while growing up, but I realized I'd never read this one before. The story seemed a little more straight forward then I remember others being, but it might just be me. Still, Nancy tackles the case with her usual enthusiasm. I was most surprised to discover the Bess and George weren't present for this first adventure. Frankly, I missed them. I simply must share the line that drew lots of laughs from me. A villain is confronting Nancy and says, "This will be the last time you'll ever stick your nose in business that doesn't concern you!" If you only knew, fella.... Nancy may not represent the best literature available, but she's fun escapism that everyone needs. Over 70 years old, she's proved her staying power. This is the perfect series to make life long mystery lovers out of kids. Sure worked for me.

Rating:  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.
