_luckycats_ 's review for:
The Secret of the Old Clock
by Carolyn Keene
I LOVED Nancy Drew as a kid, voraciously making my way through the many available to me at the public library. I was a little hesitant to re-read one - what if it was too dated? or didn't have the same sense of spunky independence in the main character that I so treasured as a young girl? Luckily for me, I felt it held up to the test of time. Sure, this book is filled with late-60's -isms, but it doesn't detract from the meat of the story - the well-paced mystery that keeps the pages turning.
It could be recommended for readers already exploring the genre, but definitely not as a gateway.
