    About this ebook

    Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew are eager for some floral fun—but first they’ll have to find the missing flowers!

    Nancy, Bess, and George couldn’t be more excited. Because Nancy took care of her neighbor Mimsy Bourret’s prize roses while she was in Paris, all three girls will be her VIP guests for the annual River Heights Flower Show. They can’t wait for beautiful flowers, a fancy ballroom, and more desserts than they can imagine!

    But once the girls get to the show, disaster strikes. Mimsy Bourret’s prize roses have vanished! Can the Clue Crew find the missing flowers in time? Or will the flower show become a total fiasco?

      The Flower Show Fiasco - Carolyn Keene

      chapter

      You’re Invited . . .

      Race you! Nancy yelled. She pedaled up the steep hill to her house but was nearly out of breath. Bess and George rode behind her on their bikes, trying to keep up.

      George pushed down hard on the pedals, doubling her pace. And George Fayne is pulling into the lead. . . . She lowered her voice so she sounded like a sports announcer. Her bike wheel inched in front of Nancy’s. It’s a close race here in River Heights. Who will win? It’s anyone’s guess!

      Bess climbed off her bike. She held on to the handlebars as she walked up the hill. After riding around the neighborhood for an hour, Bess was too tired to race her friends. Instead she played the cheerleader, rooting for best friend Nancy Drew. Come on, Nancy! Don’t give up just yet!

      Nancy pushed as hard as she could. She leaned forward, gripping the handlebars. George and Nancy were neck and neck. As they climbed to the top of the hill, the rest of the neighborhood came into view. The street dead-ended, with just five houses up ahead. Nancy pedaled as fast as she was able to, but George was faster. Just as the road flattened out George pulled ahead. She threw one arm up and hooted.

      I did it! George Fayne is the winner! She laughed.

      Nancy smiled. She’d known her best friends, Bess Marvin and George Fayne, since before they could talk. Bess and George were cousins, and they loved doing everything with Nancy. Together they rode bikes, had sleepovers, and danced around Bess’s room to silly songs on the radio. They spent summers swimming and camping, and winter breaks building snow forts. But their favorite thing to do was solve mysteries. Together they formed the Clue Crew. It seemed like they were always finding cases in their hometown of River Heights.

      George’s fist was still raised high in the air. Seeing how excited she was, Nancy couldn’t help but laugh. You won fair and square, Nancy said. But tomorrow there’ll be a rematch!

      Nancy’s house came into view up ahead. George pointed to a blue house with white shutters just a few doors down. Look! The lights are on. Miss Bouret must be back.

      Bess rode up beside them. The girls paused at the picket fence, which was covered in pink blooming flowers. The front door was open and the sprinkler was on. Those seemed like sure signs that Miss Bouret had returned from her two-week-long trip to Paris.

      Nancy glanced at the rosebushes that lined the front of the house. Mimsy Bouret, one of Nancy’s favorite neighbors, had a garden that looked like it was out of a magazine. There were blooming plants everywhere. Mimsy loved to walk around her garden, teaching Nancy and her friends the names of all the different plants. There were gardenias, lilacs, hydrangeas, and tulips. Her most impressive flowers were her roses, though, which she put Nancy in charge of while she was away. Every afternoon Nancy carefully watered the plants. She always made sure to give them just the right amount. Taking care of Miss Bouret’s garden was a big task, and Nancy worried that she might mess it up. But the peach roses still looked perfect.

      Just then the front door opened. Hello, my little darlings! she cried as she sashayed out of her house. Her red curls were piled on the top of her head and she wore a floral blouse with lace around the collar. The entire four years Nancy had known Miss Bouret, she’d never seen her in anything except flower-print shirts. Sometimes it seemed like everything she owned
