11/11/17 review of Nancy Drew mystery The Secret of the Old Clock

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the Nancy Drew mystery The Secret of the Old Clock, by Carolyn Keene (Harriet Stratemeyer Adams).

The thread gives a summary of the book. It gives a bit of context on the women behind the pseudonym "Carolyn Keene," which I hadn't known much about before. It discusses some of the book's themes, like justice, the relationship between Nancy and her father, Nancy's "sales" techniques. The thread discusses the book's form, as well as some aspects I saw as potentially queer aspects of the book. And it discusses how the story is empowering for girls.

Unfortunately, this is yet another thread that somehow has been twisted all around by the Twitter platform. So the thread doesn't read very coherently.
