Book Review: The Secret of the Old Clock

Hey Guys,

             Long time no see. Today I will be doing a book review on Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. I recently read this book and I really enjoyed it. Fun fact: My mom found 8 books in this series at a thrift store, two of those books were the book I am reviewing today. So without further ado lets get started.

          This book is #1 in the series and if you wonder what the cover looks like just google "Nancy Drew" and it will come up in images. This is the revised version published in 1959 by Grosset & Dunlap. It's 20 chapters and 180 pages long. This book did not have a summary blurb any where on the cover or at the front of the book.

        The main character in the book is Nancy Drew. Characters that appear a lot in this book are Mr. Drew, Hannah Gruen, Allison and Grace Hoover, the Topham family and Judy, Edna and Mary Turner. This book is set in around 1960 based on some of the images and what Nancy is wearing on the cover.  In this book Nancy solves the mystery around the second will of Josiah Crowley. She also catches the fake movers who locked her in a closet and stole from the Tophams and the Turners.

        Overall I think this is a great book and I really enjoyed it. I totally recommend it and I see why it's a classic. Well see you soon. I hope you enjoyed!

My OOTD's the week of Jan 14 -18 + bonus school lunch

 Hey Guys, Sorry for my small absence. (This was supposed to be posted 3 weeks ago, oops😏) Today I'm going to be showing you a summary of my normal school outfits. These are more suited for cold weather. Ironically, today school was cancelled because of an ice storm, and last week was really, really cold. Well enough chit chat, let's get started! Monday January 14: This day was a special picture day, so I had to wear a special blouse. The blouse is from Ardene, the cardigan is from Old Navy and so are the jeans. Tuesday January 15: Normal school day, cold obviously. I don't know where my hoodie is from (It was a dance costume). My leggings are from Old Navy. Wednesday January 16: I love wearing sweatpants on Wednesday, it's because I am always tired and sore from dance and I need the freedom to move in my pants for yoga club. My t-shirt is from H&M and my sweatpants are from Old Navy. I also wore a sweater with this because it w...

Book Review- To Kill a Mockingbird

Hi guys, Today I'm going to be doing a book review on the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Did I enjoy it?  YES! I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a good story and really made me think. This book is pretty thick and I read it starting in or around the month of January and I just finished on Tuesday. I really wanted to keep reading every time I put it down.  This book is a classic and was originally published in 1960. This book has two parts and is 31 chapters long.  This book uses a bad word frequently so if you don't understand or you're younger make sure you know that word is unacceptable. The Main Characters The main characters are Jean-Louise Finch (also called Scout)and Jem Finch. They appear the most in the book. This book was told in first person point of view. (Told by Scout) My Rating I give this book 4 and a half stars. It's a very good book to read, I truly recommend this book. I hope you enjoyed reading this book review. ...

My new story.

Hi guys, Today I'm sharing a story I just started writing. I haven't come up with a name yet but I do have ideas. It's about a girl named Willow who learns she has powers but she's in danger. I hope you like what I have written so far. Introduction  A car swerved onto a busy sidewalk, screams filled the air as a lone girl was hit. Her name was Willow. At that moment her life was about to change forever. Story I awoke to the sound of a constant beep, I heard talking coming from the end of my bed. I looked up, a woman with hazel eyes and sunny blonde hair dressed in scrubs looked back. She helped me sit up. " How are you doing?" the woman asked. " I'm nurse Everly." I gazed at her kind gentle smile. " I ache all over." I croaked, feeling the pain. I couldn't speak easily. The door opened with a creak, a man dressed in a white coat entered the room. He spoke to the nurse then turned to me. " Do your parents know where ...
