Even though it was a book, The Secret Of The Old Clock, painted a clear picture in my head. The book I read was The Secret Of The Old Clock by, Carolyn Keene. It is part of the Nancy Drew series. The central character in my book is Nancy Drew and Carson Drew. The major problem in this book is that Nancy needs to find a will to help some people get more money. She looks for the will by looking for relatives of the man that died to give hints to help her solve the mystery. This book takes place in River Heights and around 1980-1990.

Nancy Drew is kind because she tried to help some people get more money. Something else that makes Nancy kind is that in the beginning she saves a little girl’s life. Nancy is also curious because she wanted to get involved with a mystery. She is adventures too because she went on an adventure to figure out the mystery. A part of the book I found very interesting is when Nancy sees some robbers robbing a house. It was interesting because Nancy had to stop the robbers from stealing furniture. Also she saw the robbers twice and had to stop them two times.

Another part I found interesting is when Nancy goes to someone’s house and hears a big scream. It was interesting because I never knew what was going to happen next. A big decision Nancy makes is when she decides to go do something dangerous and if she gets caught she might get hurt or even be killed! One other part I found interesting is when Nancy gets so close to the answer of the mystery. It was interesting because it made me have a lot of thoughts while reading it.

I enjoyed the book because it had some surprising parts that I would not expect. Also at first I thought the book was going to be boring because I do not like mystery but I liked this book. Another thing that made it interesting was that Nancy would do anything to solve the mystery. I would recommend this book to kids who like mystery books and surprising things, also to kids in third or fourth grade. The genre of my book is mystery. This book connects to my life because I am curious just like Nancy. I give this book three and a half stars.
