About the book:
This retelling of the very first Nancy Drew mystery, The Secret of the Old Clock, originally published in 1930, is the third book in the Mini Mysteries series of interactive picture-book mysteries for children.
The story introduces Nancy Drew as a teenage sleuth in a cozy mystery (no violence or gore). Nancy solves the case of a missing will hidden in an old clock and helps the struggling relatives and friends of Josiah Crowley receive the promised money from his estate. There are robbers, greedy will-altering heirs, suspense, and a resolution.
Monson’s retelling captures the original plot and distills it in a way that is fun for children. Along with the story, there are activities, games, and puzzles throughout to help with engagement and might just foster a few budding detectives.
There is also a glossary of mystery-related terms.
