mangofandango 's review for:
The Secret of the Old Clock
by Carolyn Keene
Oh whoa. I read this both for the nostalgia and because I was asked to preview it for Sophie.
It's the weirdest thing! So anachronistic, obviously, but sort of hysterically so.
In the first 30 pages or so, I learn that Nancy is a skillful driver, attractive, discreet and not inclined to gossip, and apparently capable of evaluating pediatric head injuries. She can change a tire and bust out of a locked closet. Her mystery solving skills are basically...being able to draw simple logical conclusions and follow basic information, so, yknow, but she's kind of a sweet little 1950s badass anyway.
I noted the absence of Bess and George, and also Ned. Maybe I will read another! It was entertaining in a really strange way.
