About this ebook
Nancy and her friends agree that the Pink Princess daisies they've grown from seed are the prettiest flowers ever. They're sure to win a prize at the spring flower show. But shortly before the event, the daisies disappear!
Snobby fourth-grader Viola Van Hall told the girls that her flowers were going to take first prize. Classmate Orson Wong wanted the daisies for a horrible science experiment. Belle Bridges sprinkles flower petals all over her salads -- she might have eaten the daisies. Have the girls lost the chance to win the contest, or is the answer to the mystery right under their noses?

The Flower Show
Aren’t these the most beautiful flowers you’ve ever seen?"
Eight-year-old Bess Marvin was sitting in the backseat of the Fayne family’s car. She held up a flowerpot containing a bunch of frilly pink daisies.
Nancy Drew, who was sitting next to her, nodded. Definitely! I think we’re going to win first prize.
"Iknowwe’re going to win first prize," George Fayne piped up from the front seat. George’s real name was Georgia. She and Bess were cousins, and Nancy’s two best friends.
Mrs. Fayne, who was driving the car, smiled at her daughter. Now, don’t you girls get your hopes up too high. You’re facing a lot of competition, you know.
No problem,
George said. Our Pink Princess daisies rule!
Yeah!
Bess agreed.
Nancy giggled. George and Bess were right. Their Pink Princess daisies reallywerethe best.
Mrs. Fayne was the vice president of the River Heights Garden Club. The club was sponsoring a flower show at the Civic Center. The show was opening in just three days.
Lots of prizes were going to be given at the flower show. There were two special children’s prizes for flowers grown from seed: Most Beautiful Flower and Most Original Flower.
Three months earlier—way back in winter—Mrs. Fayne had tried to convince George to grow a flower for the show. At first George hadn’t been too excited about the idea. She was more into sports than flowers and gardening.
Then one day Nancy, Bess, and their friend Julia Santos had been at George’s house. The four of them happened to leaf through one of Mrs. Fayne’s seed catalogs. They saw an ad for a rare type of daisy called the Pink Princess daisy. It was being sold with a limited-time offer. That meant that they could buy the seeds only for a short amount of time.
Right then and there, they decided to pool their money, order the seeds, and enter the contest together.
Now it was April, and the daisies were in full bloom. Nancy, George, Bess, and Julia had been passing the pot around for the last three months to water and fertilize it. Bess had had it for the past week, during most of the girls’ spring vacation from school. Now it was Julia’s turn.
Here we are at the Civic Center!
Mrs. Fayne announced, turning the car into the parking lot.
Mrs. Fayne was going to help the other garden club members set up for the flower show. George and her friends would get a sneak peek at the exhibit.Julia’s mom was driving Julia there separately. The four girls planned to meet in the lobby.
The Civic Center was a big, importantlooking building in downtown River Heights. An enormous green, pink, and white banner was draped across the front of it. It said:
THIS FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY THE FLOWER SHOW SPONSORED BY THE RIVER HEIGHTS GARDEN CLUB
