Scream for Ice Cream - Carolyn Keene
Can we taste the ice cream now?
Bess Marvin asked.
George Fayne rolled two doubled-up coffee cans on top of the picnic table. The middle can was filled with very cold milk, sugar, vanilla, and blueberries. I told you a gazillion times, Bess,
she said. Not until it’s ready!
Unless you want mushy ice cream,
eight-year-old Nancy Drew said with a giggle.
Bess and George were Nancy’s two best friends. They were cousins, too, but as different as strawberry and fudge ripple ice cream. George was really into computers. Bess could fix or build anything—like the homemade ice-cream maker George found instructions for on the Web.
Nancy had been counting the days until Saturday. That’s when the new Jim and Barry’s Ice Cream Factory would open on River Street. It was also the day of the Jim and Barry’s ice-cream flavor contest. Whoever came up with the best flavor would win a special silver ticket. The ticket would allow the winner to come into the factory any time for a free pint of ice cream!
The thought of Jim and Barry’s ice cream always made the girls’ mouths water. They had neat flavors like Squirrel Nut Crunch, Gorilla Vanilla, and Cookie Crumble!
For the contest, Nancy, Bess, and George came up with a flavor called Clue-berry. It was vanilla ice cream loaded with blueberries and a secret surprise—like a big juicy strawberry on the bottom.
The best part,
Nancy said, is the clues on each container leading to the surprise!
It’s like a mystery in every pint!
George declared.
"And everybody knows we love mysteries!" Bess exclaimed.
That’s because Nancy, Bess, and George were great at solving mysteries. They had even started their own detective club called the Clue Crew. Their detective headquarters were in Nancy’s room. They carefully kept their clues in Nancy’s desk drawer. George wrote their detective files on Nancy’s computer.
Can we taste it now?
Bess asked, twirling a lock of her blond hair around her finger.
Not until it’s ready!
Nancy and George said together.
Just then the sound of bells filled the air. Nancy would know that sound anywhere—it was the jingle of the Mr. Drippy ice-cream truck.
If you want ice cream so badly, Bess,
George said, why don’t you buy some from Mr. Drippy?
Mr. Drippy?
Bess answered. She gave a little shudder. I’d rather buy ice cream from Godzilla!
"Mr. Drippy is Godzilla, Nancy said.
He’s the meanest ice-cream man in River Heights. Maybe the world!"
The truck pulled up to the sidewalk. Three kids walked over to it. Mr. Drippy leaned out of the square window on the truck. Without a smile he began to bark, Fall in line! Heads up! First customer—go!
The first boy in line wore a baseball cap and a very worried look on his face. Um,
he gulped, Panda Bar.
Mr. Drippy narrowed his eyes. No please, no Panda Bar!
he declared. "Next!"
A girl in a white T-shirt and red shorts marched up to the window. She threw back her shoulders and shouted, "One chocolate ice-cream pop, please, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Mr. Drippy nodded as he handed the girl the pop.
See?
Bess whispered. Mr. Drippy doesn’t give ice cream to anyone who forgets to say please or thank you!
Nancy saw a boy inside the truck. It was Henderson, Mr. Drippy’s son. Henderson was in the fourth grade at River Heights Elementary School. He was also the biggest brat in school!
Henderson probably never says please or thank you,
Nancy said. And he must get all the ice cream he wants.
Forget it,
George said. "If we win this contest we won’t ever have to buy
