A review by jaclynmarie
The Mystery of the Brass-Bound Trunk by Carolyn Keene
3.0
Everyone needs a little bit of Nancy Drew in their lives. I loved this particular mystery when I was in elementary school...but it strangely vanished from the school library after the first time I read it and I never could get my hands on it again (the public library didn't have it either). I recently found it at a used book store, so it was time for a re-read.
I much prefer the writing style of the older Nancy Drews, before they were updated. (This one is the original 1940 version.) They are not written "down" to younger readers; they assume a little bit of intelligence. And they have that fun, old-fashioned flair to them.
