Nancy Drew
Josiah had said he would distribute his wealth to
his friends and relatives in his will, but why did he
eventually give all his money to only the Tophams
in his will?
In Asia, one of the cases Nancy solved was the
Mystery of The Fire Dragon. In South America,
she goes to Peru to solve The Clue in the
Crossword Cipher. In addition to Peru, she visits
Argentina, to solve the mystery of the brass-bound
trunk. In Mexico, she solves the clue of the black
keys. In North America, Nancy travels to Canada
to put an end to the mystery at the ski jump.
The money was very much needed by all the
families. The Turners needed the money to
educate Judy - their 5 year old niece.The Hoover
sisters needed the money for one of the sister’s
vocal musical training because she had a very
good voice. The Matthew brothers needed the
money to travel around the world. Abby Rowman
needed the money for her medical treatment. She
had never taken medical treatment since Josiah
died. She forgot everything because she was
getting old. She just remembered Josiah talking
about his will and also about his clock.
In Europe she solves 4 mysteries. They are:
• Ringmasters clue is where she travels to London
• Clue of the whistling bagpipes is where Nancy
travels to Scotland
• Mystery of the 99 steps is where she goes to
Paris
• And in the secret of the Old Lace she travels to
Belgium
Do you think the will could be hidden in the
clock? But which clock? There are many clocks in
the world. That is why Abby Rowman gives a
description of the clock to Nancy. Nancy goes to
hunt for the clock and surprisingly finds it in the
Tophams’ vacation cabin.
These are only 9 out of 64 places she has visited.
There are many different countries she has visited.
Like more cities in USA, etc...
To summarize, Nancy Drew is a teenage girl
detective who lives in River Heights with her
father and housekeeper. She has a lot of friends
who help her solve the mysteries.
To get the clock Nancy has to sneak behind the
cabin. Later she finds that the cabin drivers, that
means the people who drive a cabin, were crooks
so she hands them over to the cops (the cabin
drivers did not know that Nancy was hiding there).
Nancy finds Josiah’s diary inside the clock (which
was in the Tophams vacation cabin) and a key to
open a safe deposit box. She opens the safe deposit
in a bank with her father’s help and to her delight,
she found the will and the money everyone needed
badly.
Now that you have learned a lot about detectives

book. What happens in the other 63 books? Well
the answer just does not come out of nowhere,

Now I hope you learned a lot about the Secret of
the Old Clock. This section is all about places
Nancy Drew has visited. She has visited all the
continents except for Antarctica because nobody
can live in Antarctica, except for some eskimos,
and eskimos are not detectives.
