The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene

Nancy Drew is a classic series of a young girl who randomly comes upon mysteries. She has a knack for finding clues, trouble, and the answers to mysteries. Her father is a lawyer who can help her sort out her thoughts. This is a great series that will get kids, especially girls, reading. There is a series like it for boys, The Hardy Boys. The original hardback series, shown in the picture, is yellow on the cover and 56 books long.

This book is the first in a series. Nancy Drew finds out that someone's will is missing. The poorer relatives claim they were in the will while the wealthier relatives dispute it. She finds out that a missing clock holds a clue to where the missing will is located.

Hopefully, this book will get anyone to continue reading the series. They are easy reads and for adults could take less than 1 day to finish.
