I own all of the books from "The Secret of the Old Clock (1)" to "The Thirteenth Pearl (56)". It was fun tracking down the last two books to finish off my collection recently. But I'll admit, when I read 55 and 56, my thought was...things have changed (and for the better). These books inspired me as a young girl growing up (made me interested in puzzles, helped me realize I could solve mysteries).</p> <p>My favorite thing to do now is to reread books I loved as a child to my children. Reading from the exact same book my Mom read to me. Mr. Popper's Penguins, The Enormous Egg, The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles. Ahhhhhh...the joys of childhood and parenthood!</p> Ahhhh….yes…Nancy Drew. I own all of the books from “The Secret of the Old Clock (1)” to “The Thirteenth Pearl (56)”.
