The Secret of the Old Clock

Hahaha how is this a kid's book? I mean, it doesn't have anything inappropriate in it but it's soooo dull. What kid wants to read about the settlement of a will? Nothing much really happens in this book really, it's just Nancy finding a will. Fun? Well I'm gonna chalk it up to how old this book is, entertainment was different back then after all. Thing is, I don't regret reading this because I really love Nancy Drew as a character and this is her first case. I imagine the cases will only get bigger and crazier from here. It's actually fitting that she starts out small since she's such an amateur in the first book. I guess I can forgive her first case for being lack-luster. I look forward to book 2!

P.S. I love the yellow hardcover copies I have of these books, they just feel and look really nice. Plus, the retro covers are really beautiful.
