All of Nancy Drew Mysteries are great. They are rated as children's books, but they are also very enjoyable and interesting for adults. I read all of them that I could while I was growing up and decided recently (after 60 years of age) to see if they are as good as I remembered. They are. They are great mysteries, interesting, full of action, hold the attention well, and never have any questionable content for any age. This review is more about the series as a whole rather than one book, although the secret of the old clock is a great book.
A wonderful lot of the first six books in the Nancy Drew Mystery Story series. This set includes, The Secret Of The Old Clock; The Hidden Staircase; The Bungalow Mystery; The Mystery At Lilac Inn; The Secret Of Shadow Ranch and The Secret Of Red Gate Farm. This is an awesome value for the price. These hardcover books were republished by Grosset & Dunlap in 2009 to reproduce the same quality and likeness of the original publications. The six books are sold as a Starter Set. I can't wait to give these to my granddaughters as they grow into reading. I am so excited to own this set. I just may read all of them again! It's wonderful to have grandchildren. Now I can relive my childhood memories while sharing in their learning and excitement. Thanks to EBAY for making these books available and affordable.Read full review
As a teenager, I spent many happy hours in the summer, sitting on the old porch swing devouring the Nancy Drew Mysteries. NOW, I discover the books my Mom gave away when I left home are selling for $25+ in antique stores! I was pleased to be able to purchase these old favorites and am enjoying the detailed descriptions of scenery, clothing, and characters. Although geared for young people, these books still have a lot to offer readers of all ages. The books are cleverly written "who-done-its" that encourage the reader to join in solving the mystery.
copy for my friend , a schoolteacher. I was crazy about these books in 5th grade.

when i was young i use to read nancy drew novels and i loved her books and i love too read,when i left home at seventeen i could not take them with me so when i saw them on ebay i thought it would be nice to have some of the older ones from the years that i used to read them and they are now in my book case and maybe my granddaughters might read them sometime i think they would enjoy them as much as i did, it's nice to have something from my past. sandra704
