Scored these for $1 each!!

A circus, a child, and a mysterious ivory charm that holds the power of life and death.

Bah. I hate to give Nancy a pan, but I have to. Blatant racism, a nutty American woman who‘s into Indian mysticism and engineered a revolution in a wealthy Indian province while stealing the maharaja‘s riches AND kidnapping his son, a magic charm that holds the secret of life and death...sorry, too much for me.

Number 13 for #nancydrewchallenge done.

“En route” used twice in two pages?

I‘m having real trouble with this one. The stilted speech of the Indian boy, yet his almost-fluency of ideas (does that make sense?) is tough. I usually try to do accents or voices for important characters as I‘m reading to the kiddo, but gave up this one rather than be a caricature. The usual coincidences and suspension of disbelief are causing some strain, too. Definitely not my favorite Nancy.

Suddenly she became #aware that the ivory charm was no longer around her neck. Had she removed it the previous evening before retiring? She could not remember doing so.

Unboxing my #1930s #homemadedecades box. I love everything in this box. I read Nancy Drew books when I was younger but I've never read this title. I color to relax so the Wizard of Oz coloring book is great- I really like the poster in the back. My favorite things- the book sleeve and the keychain. So happy I chose Q as my initial. If I had known I was picking a Scrabble tile I would have picked Q, the queen of Scrabble tiles. Thank you.
