“The Secret of the Old Clock” is the first story in the classic Nancy Drew series. Although some people dislike the fact that the series takes place in the early to mid 1900s, I believe it adds to the somewhat nostalgic feeling of the…

I first read this over 60 years ago. My mother had a set of the original 1930's editions. I devoured Nancy Drew books and always have thought they helped me to read better. It was a sentimental trip this time.

Fun series. I am on The Mystery of the Ivory Charm. I have read books 1-6 twice! These books are good, but often you don't feel too bad when you have to put them down to go back to ordinary life :)

I think that it is a good engaging detective/mystery solving story. However, because it was written in an older time period, younger audience may find the settings of the story a bit hard to understand and not very relevant.

They're definitely formulaic and the writing gets really wonky in places, but these books are fun and inspiring and I've got a huge soft spot for them and the entertainment they gave 12 year old me.

They are making a lot of updated Nancy Drew books right now, but this line of novels has enchanting vintage charm so much better than modern tales.
