The Secret of the Wooden Lady by Carolyn Keene
3.0
Nancy, her father and best friends Bess and George, set out to help a friend living on an old clipper ship in Boston to discover the history and secrets of the ship and locate the missing figurehead. As you can tell from the title, the wooden lady herself harbors a secret of her own.
These are written for young girls, and thus it really is not fair for someone my age to roll my eyes at all the easy clues and compulsory leaps leading to immediate solutions by Nancy of the mysteries. Rather let me applaud how in the three girls you have an example of a born leader (Nancy), a tomboy adventurer (George), and a girly girl homebody (Bess), thus providing a sympathetic character for every young girl to relate to.
