Keene, Carolyn. (1930). Nancy Drew: The Secret of the old Clock. New York: Grosset and Dunlap.

This book is the very first book in the classic mystery series Nancy Drew. This mystery is about Nancy Drew having to help Mr. Crowly's friends, the Turners, find his missing will. They must find his will before the evil Topham family steals his inheritance. When Nancy goes to look at the summer home she finds that they have stolen the Crowly Clock. She gets trapped there, but when she escapes with the clock as evidence, she is mistakenly accused of stealing the clock. Can Nancy solve the mystery and save herself and the Crowly inheritance?
This novel is a classic for all students to read. I think it should be a read aloud because every child should be introduced to Nancy Drew.
