The theme this week is The Strange Case of a Podcast About Adnan Syed.

Then, on to our story:

Because two girls from her school are mean to her, one nosey Nancy seeks to ruin their family and leave them destitute. But how will this cautious Karen outwit her playground bullies? By collaborating with her father, a man who seems desperate to get rid of her by putting her in harm’s way every chance he gets. In the end, the secret to the demise of those whom she despises is within an old clock. Our headstrong heroine must rely on happenstance and privilege to complete her fiendish mission and remain the queen bee of her hive.

The messy meddler: Nancy Drew.

The book: The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keen.
