The Clue of the Dancing Puppet

The Clue of the Dancing Puppet | Carolyn Keene

so-so

Nancy Drew books were my first chapter book obsession. I read tons of them, with the encouragement of my school librarian.

This one was published in 1962, and it shows 🤣. The phrase “getting me down” was used more than once.

Even though I thought the writing was lacking, it was fun to taste the nostalgia of this reread.
It was my #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

RobES I grew up on Nancy Drew... she was natural progression from The Famous Five and Secret Seven .... brings back all the memories ❤️ 2y

dabbe The ONLY books I would read for a while, along with Pippi Longstocking. I even had the original THE SECRET OF THE OLD CLOCK. I gave them all away years ago and wish I had them again. #nostalgiaindeed 2y

Rissreadswithcats Nancy Drew was my jam too! ♥️ 2y

The Clue of the Dancing Puppet | Carolyn Keene

It‘s been years since I‘ve read Nancy Drew, but my topics bookclub is reading “childhood favorites“ in January so I‘m going in!

Arthur Pepper has been on my kindle for ages, and it fits the #booked2023 prompt for “Proper noun in the title.”

Thanks for keeping me guessing about what I‘ll be reading every month @TheAromaofBooks ! I love #bookspin!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I keep meaning to reread some Nancy Drews as I own a BUNCH of them from my childhood but haven't picked them up in years! Same with Hardy Boys and Trixie Belden! 2y

Cinfhen Great choice for #Booked2023!! And fun childhood read. Enjoy ☺️ 2y

Kerrbearlib I loved Arthur Pepper! Such a good book! 2y

Nancy Drew 39: The Clue of the Dancing Puppet | Carolyn Keene

pick

38 down for #nancydrewchallenge - unlikely we‘ll finish the whole series this year but we‘re plugging along.

A life-size dancing puppet is plaguing an amateur theater troupe, and Nancy steps in to unravel this tangled mystery. As usual, several seemingly-unrelated threads come together and Nancy sorts everything out.

Hooked_on_books You‘ll be very disappointed in me. At the recent library book sale, there was a whole box full of old Nancy Drews in great condition and I didn‘t buy a single one. 😯 5y

ravenlee @Hooked_on_books what?! 5y

Hooked_on_books I know 😔 😆 5y

Sace @Hooked_on_books I'll second that "what?!" ? 5y

Quickly Mr. Landow explained what had happened. When Mrs. Burke kept insisting the two men had taken her valuable emerald necklace, the officers said they would make a #search.

Nancy Drew 39: The Clue of the Dancing Puppet | Carolyn Keene

I was starting to despair, none of my hardcovers had cool endpapers! Even my beautiful illustrated complete Chronicles of Narnia failed me! Then I remembered my mom's old Nancy Drews and I was saved. (Actually the bottom book is a Dana Girls mystery, also written by "Carolyn Keene" the same fake author as Nancy Drew.) #readjanuary #endpapers
