kimu 's review for:
The Secret of the Old Clock
by Carolyn Keene
Obviously the book is a bit dated, but considering how long ago it was published, it holds up surprisingly well. The writing style is compelling, Nancy Drew is as spunky and fun as I remember her being, and the scrapes she gets herself into (and tries to solve herself) are memorable. There's a fair chunk of gender stereotypical junk, as you'd expect of a book originally published in 1930, but it's balanced by a fair amount of moxie on Nancy Drew's part, a spirit of "I can solve this myself!" Well worth a re-read, and a nice memory from growing up.
