Nancy Drew 07: The Clue in the Diary
Nancy Drew 07: The Clue in the Diary | Carolyn Keene
24 posts | 35 read | 2 reading | 2 to read
Nancy and her friends, George and Bess, are returning from a country carnival when they witness the explosion and burning of a beautiful country mansion. Fearing its occupants may be trapped in the blazing building, they rush to the rescue - and unexpectedly fund themselves confronted with a mystery that seems to be insoluble. The first clue, an anonymous diary, includes not only indecipherable handwriting, but puzzling technical drawings and chemical formulas as well. Who dropped the diary near the burning house? Was it the gaunt stranger Nancy glimpsed running away from the flaming structure? What was he doing there? And does he know the whereabouts of Felix Raybolt, an unscrupulous dealer in patents, who has not been seen since his home burned? Or did Raybolt die in the fire? When evidence mounts against Joe Swenson, who was swindled by "Foxy Felix", our young detective makes the desperate effort to exonerate the inventor of the suspicion of arson because of his dear five-year-old daughter.

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

My #HyggeHour is being spent with Nancy for #NancyDrewBR & with tea, a face mask & a few Girl Scout cookies

My mood is mellow & a bit bummed that tomorrow is Monday & it will be another crazy week while getting ready for a work trip next Sunday. Happy to have this #Hygge transition time.🙏🏼

Just a tiny #LibraryBookHaul today. I stopped in to drop off books & pick up the tagged book for #NancyDrewBR & stopped from checking anything else out as I have too much to read already. I did grab Our Missing Hearts which is on my TBR for $1 at the library book store & 2 Free Comic Book Day bookmarks.

The book🐔🐔say I broke even, +1 point for not checking out extra books this week & -1 point for buying another to add to the giant TBR stacks!

DebinHawaii P.S. Love this Nancy Drew cover! 🤩😂 1d
Jari-chan OMG the Hazbin bookmarks!😍😍😍 1d
DebinHawaii @Jari-chan OK, I have to confess that I don‘t know them, I‘m a sucker for bookmarks & thought they were fun/cute. If you would like them, I‘d be happy to send them to you. Just email me DebinHawaii@gmail.com with your mailing address if you want them! 🤗 (edited) 1d

I honestly think this may be my favorite to date. It definitely made for a fun couple of hours reading on a rainy Saturday. No #NNK, but plenty of snooping, meddling, and a proper introduction to Ned. ❤️
#nancydrewbr

Librarybelle Yay!! A rainy day is a good Nancy Drew reading day! 1d
Bookwormjillk I haven‘t read it yet but the cover is definitely my favorite so far! 1d

I‘m going to have to start counting the number of times Nancy is accused of snooping or meddling. It‘s cracking me up. #ScoobyDooOrNamcyDrew?

#nancydrewbr

Librarybelle 😂 Love it! 1d
Ruthiella I just read a book where the young female protagonist in peril closed a window because it wasn‘t polite to eavesdrop. I thought, “Nancy Drew has no such scruples “! 😆 1d
DGRachel @Ruthiella She definitely does not! 🤣🤣 1d

dabbe @Ruthiella It seems most of the time that's the only way she finds out anything! 😂 1d

Nancy will always be a pick for me. My only disappointment was that Nancy didn‘t get conked on the head, trapped or bound and gagged. 😆

#NancyDrewBR

Ruthiella Out of context, that sentence would raise an eyebrow or two! 😂 3d
Sace @Ruthiella Right? I even debated whether to include it or not! 😂 3d
Librarybelle Oh boy! That makes two in a row that there is no #NancyNogginKnockout ! 3d

Sace @Librarybelle you know, I almost marked this with a spoiler. Since everyone is keeping a close watch on The knockouts and it adds to the experience I didn‘t know if people just wanted to find out for themselves if her noggin got knocked or not 😆 3d
Librarybelle @Sace You‘re totally fine! 😂 It‘s definitely a joke from the last few books…not a spoiler! 3d
Amiable @Librarybelle OMG, I am totally in love with that hashtag. 😄😂 3d
Librarybelle @Amiable It‘s hilarious! @DebinHawaii came up with it! 3d
dabbe No conking on the head! That makes 2/7 books where her head is safe, right? 🤩😂😀 2d

Roary47 @Ruthiella I‘m thinking this is why I can‘t remember how she met Ned. He has different origin stories. 😅 3d

#LittenDetectives : we‘re two weeks away from our next #NancyDrewBR discussion! Dare I say Nancy will find a clue in the diary???

Discussion questions posted on May 15th!

TheAromaofBooks But will she do it without getting bopped on the head??? 😂 5d
DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks Maybe the diary is on a shelf and the baddie pushes the shelf onto her and it knocks her out? 😂 I can‘t wait to find out! I picked up my library hold yesterday and will tuck in as soon as I finish my current read. 5d
TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel - I feel like instead of “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover“ maybe we need a theme song along the lines of “50 Ways to Get a Concussion You Ignore“ ??? 😂 😂 😂 5d
See All 23 Comments
DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks Or “Concussion Time” set to “Hammer Time” “da da da da…da da…da da concussion time…break her head now” 🤣🤣 5d
Librarybelle @DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks What will the #NancyNogginKnockout count be this month? We didn‘t have any last month, so we are due for some #NNK action! 5d
DGRachel And now I shall spend the rest of my day altering songs to fit Nancy Drew. 5d
Librarybelle @DGRachel A worthy pastime! 😂 5d
TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel - oh my gosh, Concussion Time is PERFECT 😂 5d
BarkingMadRead I‘m ready!!! 5d
lauraisntwilder The cover on my copy is WILD. I can't wait to see how this image could possibly make sense. 😂 5d
bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel Concussion Time gave me a good laugh this morning! 5d
bookandbedandtea @lauraisntwilder I'm eager to see which copy you have! 5d
Ruthiella Looking forward to this! 👍 5d
lauraisntwilder @bookandbedandtea It's just the yellow Grosset & Dunlap hardcover, but Nancy has her arms in the air in front of a burning house and there's a boy/man hiding in the bushes in front of her. And, I can't explain it, but it looks like it was drawn by multiple people, like, the pieces don't match? 5d
lauraisntwilder @bookandbedandtea I just saw your post -- it's the same as yours, but mine is glossy. 5d
Deblovestoread Hope to get this one read earlier in the month this time. 😁 5d
bookandbedandtea @lauraisntwilder Ah yes, the proportions are definitely off in this picture! There's no depth. Looks like something I'd draw. 🙃 5d
Bookwormjillk @lauraisntwilder mine too 🔥🔥🔥 5d

There‘s a spot in my classroom where I can hide and no one can see me from the door and windows. One of my planning periods this year is during lunch. I‘m hiding, eating and reading. Getting a head start on the #NancyDrewBR.

# 7 - the introduction of Ned. One of the better mysteries, and not one involving supposed ghosts or curses. It has more of a feel of the Secret of the Old Clock rather than the scooby do-ish feel of the last few.

“Oh, Hannah, that‘s wonderful!” Nancy exclaimed. “But don‘t tell me you can read Swedish?”
“I wish I could. The person to translate the diary is our old Swedish bakery #friend, Mr. Peterson. He has moved his shop to the other side of town.” #QuotsyFeb19 #NancyDrew

Always a fun read with my daughter. Wr blazed through this in four days!

#booked2019 for #femaledetective
My first for the #nancydrewchallenge

@Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

Cinfhen How old is your daughter?? Such an awesome idea to share Nancy Drew with her!!! 5y
ravenlee @Cinfhen she is five, and this is our second time through the original series. We started when she was about 18 months and read while nursing (we read looooots of books while nursing), and between age 2-3 she could tell me all about Bess and George and Ned (she had a bit of a crush, and since he just showed up in this book it looks like she still does). 5y
Cinfhen That‘s amazing!!! What a smart little girl!!! Good job mom 🙌🏻❣️❣️❣️#RaisingReaders 5y
ravenlee Thank you @Cinfhen ! She‘s pretty awesome, and if I‘ve done nothing else well I taught her to read and to love books. 5y
MelissaSue81 Never thought of Nancy Drew! I should reread one of these sometime. 5y

Nancy Drew is definitely a comfort read (or listen) for me! I like how Nancy is always practical and independant but still knows how to ask for help. The Clue In The Diary is number 7 in the series by Carolyn Keene and read by Laura Linney.

"Nancy shuddered as she read the papers--"

Kindof summarizes my 2016. I also love the ridiculous size and texture of the papers.?? Looks like she could make a dress out of them!

Relatedly, almost all #NancyDrew books have #dressesoncovers. ?? #readjanuary @RealLifeReading
