#11, The Clue of the Broken Locket

This was an utterly forgettable book. I am unsure why there are four covers, rather than the three, so I have not noted their illustrators as I’m unsure who the art belongs to.

An honorable mention for phrase of the book was the term “noontime dinner,” which I have never heard of before.

“What a ninny I am!”

Foods Mentioned

Nancy’s Memento

At the end of the book, Nancy is promised the broken locket once its repaired.

“Thank you both. I’ll never, never forget you or the clue of the broken locket!”
