Nancy Drew 07: The Clue in the Diary
Nancy Drew 07: The Clue in the Diary | Carolyn Keene
11 posts | 33 read | 1 to read
Nancy and her friends, George and Bess, are returning from a country carnival when they witness the explosion and burning of a beautiful country mansion. Fearing its occupants may be trapped in the blazing building, they rush to the rescue - and unexpectedly fund themselves confronted with a mystery that seems to be insoluble. The first clue, an anonymous diary, includes not only indecipherable handwriting, but puzzling technical drawings and chemical formulas as well. Who dropped the diary near the burning house? Was it the gaunt stranger Nancy glimpsed running away from the flaming structure? What was he doing there? And does he know the whereabouts of Felix Raybolt, an unscrupulous dealer in patents, who has not been seen since his home burned? Or did Raybolt die in the fire? When evidence mounts against Joe Swenson, who was swindled by "Foxy Felix", our young detective makes the desperate effort to exonerate the inventor of the suspicion of arson because of his dear five-year-old daughter.

# 7 - the introduction of Ned. One of the better mysteries, and not one involving supposed ghosts or curses. It has more of a feel of the Secret of the Old Clock rather than the scooby do-ish feel of the last few.

“Oh, Hannah, that‘s wonderful!” Nancy exclaimed. “But don‘t tell me you can read Swedish?”
“I wish I could. The person to translate the diary is our old Swedish bakery #friend, Mr. Peterson. He has moved his shop to the other side of town.” #QuotsyFeb19 #NancyDrew

Cinfhen How old is your daughter?? Such an awesome idea to share Nancy Drew with her!!! 5y
ravenlee @Cinfhen she is five, and this is our second time through the original series. We started when she was about 18 months and read while nursing (we read looooots of books while nursing), and between age 2-3 she could tell me all about Bess and George and Ned (she had a bit of a crush, and since he just showed up in this book it looks like she still does). 5y
Cinfhen That‘s amazing!!! What a smart little girl!!! Good job mom 🙌🏻❣️❣️❣️#RaisingReaders 5y
ravenlee Thank you @Cinfhen ! She‘s pretty awesome, and if I‘ve done nothing else well I taught her to read and to love books. 5y
MelissaSue81 Never thought of Nancy Drew! I should reread one of these sometime. 5y

Nancy Drew is definitely a comfort read (or listen) for me! I like how Nancy is always practical and independant but still knows how to ask for help. The Clue In The Diary is number 7 in the series by Carolyn Keene and read by Laura Linney.

"Nancy shuddered as she read the papers--"

Kindof summarizes my 2016. I also love the ridiculous size and texture of the papers.?? Looks like she could make a dress out of them!

Relatedly, almost all #NancyDrew books have #dressesoncovers. ?? #readjanuary @RealLifeReading
