The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #1)

Ages 9+

Welcome to the first Nancy Drew mystery story. She was introduced in 1930 and is still going strong almost 100 years later!

Nancy is in her late teens and often helps her father, attorney Carson Drew of River Heights, with his practice. She had been delivering legal papers for him when she almost hit a young girl who suddenly ran into the road. Inquisitive, she learns that Judy is an orphan and her aunts are not well off. That were hoping for a bequest from a recently deceased friend, Josiah Crowley. But his latest will is missing.

Nancy Drew's keen mind is tested when she searches for that will.
