--I'm sure many of you recognize the quote above was made by the beloved teenage sleuth, Nancy Drew. The Secret of the Old Clock was one of the first Nancy Drew books I read.
--The picture is of a watch that Theo was cleaning.

  2. I have a feeling I may have read a Nancy Drew or too a long long time ago. Happy New Year to you and the three boys!

    1. I remember coming home from school and reading an entire book that evening. Nancy was so sophisticated from my perspective.

  3. The Secret of the Old Clock was my very first ND mystery, and the first one that I read with my two daughters. Those books were the turning point for me, in developing a love for reading.
