One of the first books I remember reading (outside of school books) was a Hardy Boys book. I liked it, but it didn't quite click with me. So I read The Secret of the Old Clock, the first book of many in the Nancy Drew series. I loved it. At the time, I thought it was a real mystery novel. It wasn't, of course, but I read every Nancy Drew book I could get my hands on. When I was twelve I read Sherlock Holmes for the first time and I realized that Nancy Drew books didn't even have a plot. Thankfully, it doesn't stop me from enjoying (even now) the quaint little stories. And I love Nancy Drew quotes. Mara Unni gave Qix, Exie and I a Nancy Drew Guide to Life booklet, from which all of the quotes below are taken.
If you are afraid of being followed when you leave your house, buy a new car and have it brought around to the back of the house for a sneaky escape.
- Password to Larkspur Lane
If a guy's hunch results in a dead-end, don't flaunt your better judgment and intuition in front of him. Smirk secretly to yourself.
-The Phantom of Pine Hill
When searching for important clues, anything labeled "Top Secret" might be a good place to start.
-The Crooked Banister
Spend time at the gym to build upper body strength. Detective work may require fending off a vicious hair pulling.
