Wish List Wednesday: Secret of the Old Clock

Secret of the Old Clock (Nancy Drew, 1) by Carolyn Keene, May 1, 2014. Published by Grosset & Dunlap; Reprint edition (May 1, 2014).

A special treat for Nancy Drew fans, and any reader who's new to the series! We're releasing a stunning new edition of an old favorite: The Secret of the Old Clock, the first book in the incredibly popular, long-running series. It's the same exciting mystery that readers have fallen in love with for more than 80 years—Nancy Drew has to help Mr. Crowly's friends find his missing will, before the evil Topham family steals his full inheritance. Now with a brand-new look, this is an edition that collectors won't want to miss!

Why: While I haven't read many of the Nancy Drew books, I do remember discovering a copy of The Secret of the Old Clock one day at the library years ago and devouring it. I thought it was pretty awesome that Nancy was always out solving mysteries, so, when I saw the gorgeous new cover for it I knew it would have to make an appearance here.
