Secret of Red Gate Farm (Nancy Drew, Book 6) [UNABRIDGED] by Carolyn Keene
Reader Reviews Kindness Personified, June 21, 2003 Reviewer: themissingpage from Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains... I read this book not too long ago after a long break from reading the hardcovers. I forgot how much I liked it! In this book, Nancy and the gang helps out a girl and her granny at their farm, and becomes entangled in solving a mystery involving counterfeiting, greed, and a KKK-like "clan." What really stood out in this book was Nancy's eagerness to help others, and her generosity. I love how Nancy shows so much concern for Joanne. She drove Joanne to different towns in search of a job, and went to her farm to be a paying boarder just so they wouldn't have to sell the place. You don't read about that sort of thing in the paperbacks nowadays. I haven't read a YSPC in a really long time, so it was a treat to read something so refreshing and different! You really lose sight of the real Nancy when you start reading paperbacks. I've never really realized how different Nancy had become since the 50s, or the 30s, for that matter, until now. This book is the quintessential example of Nancy Drew being a great role model. S.J. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition
