so-soAs usual, lots of implausible things happen to Nancy and friends, but this time involving the Kennedy Space Center, which is an interesting aspect. The plot's a mess, but the book was still fun to read.

Ninety-five years of Nancy Drew!
The Secret of the Old Clock was first published
April 28, 1930.
pickThe original 1942 version was so much better than the 1970s rewrite, aside from the racism. I am so glad I tracked down a copy. The writing itself was better, and while there was plenty of danger and coincidence, it was much less ridiculous. It was also a bit darker. Nancy, her chums, and her dad all face serious danger. Also, I don‘t recall Bess being called plump even once, and George is the one mocked for her appetite! #NancyDrewBR ⬇️
so-soGot a bit behind on the #NancyDrewBR but all caught up now. This one was just a smidge over the top with exploding oranges and a wild leopard. 😆 It was very disjointed. The 1941 version sounds intriguing. As a Floridian it was a fun but ridiculous ride! 3⭐️

The “new” version set in Florida was such a mess that I had to hunt down the original. It arrived today and why did no one tell me the originals had end papers?!?!? #nancydrewbr
pickFinally starting to pick up Nancy Drew books again. Finished this one earlier this week. This one was okay. Lots of golf and of course Nancy is amazing at golf, even with an injured hand. This one wasn‘t too ridiculous, so it was enjoyable. Though she just happened to find the treasure chest a guy was looking for, for years.

so-so3✨ I thought this was pretty interesting that Nancy was helping to solve coded messages. She has close encounters with dangerous wild animals, and tear gas. Then her boyfriend‘s mom is trying to convince her to talk to her dad about buying the house next door to them. 🤣 #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle
