Cherry Ames Clinic Nurse

Cherry Ames Clinic Nurse

By: Julie Tatham

Grosset & Dunlap, Inc, 1952

Cherry Ames loves working at the Clinic but Doctor Fortune and his assistant Wilk Wilkinson (yes, that's really his name) seem to think she works too hard. When Cherry is kidnapped and held hostage no one believes her, she even begins to doubt her certainty. When Wilk and Cherry begin to notice strange things happening around Jane Smith's Inn. With the help of Wilk and newspaper editor, Sherman Harden Cherry is able to unfold this mystery. But when Cherry attempts to rescue Sherman all by herself will all her hard work be in vain?

Personal Review: This book was really funny although not on purpose. This book was written in the 1950's so some of the things Cherry said and did were quite amusing. For example Cherry cries, "O me! O my!" This book was interesting to read because it was written such a long time ago. These books were written to encourage girls to become nurses. The writer makes Cherry appear like a heroine because she is a nurse. She is also good at everything the traditional house wife should be good at; cooking, cleaning, doing service, etc. I really didn't think this book was that bad. The plot line was entertaining and humorous.

Warning: Beware this book is sexist, it was written in the 50's!
