The Circus Scare - Carolyn Keene
Chapter One
Deirdre’s Secret
There’s a parking spot, Hannah!
eight-year-old Nancy Drew shouted. It’s right by the mall entrance.
Hannah Gruen, the Drew family’s housekeeper, expertly pulled her car into the space and turned off the engine. Are you ready to shop till you drop?
she asked.
Nancy giggled.
Yes!
Bess Marvin and George Fayne shouted from the backseat.
It was Thursday morning. Hannah had driven Nancy, Bess, and George to the River Heights Mall to buy new swimsuits for the summer. Besides being cousins, Bess and George had been Nancy’s two best friends since kindergarten. The three girls went everywhere together.
They were also famous for solving local mysteries. The friends had even started their own detective club, which they called the Clue Crew. Their headquarters were in Nancy’s room, and they kept every clue they found in Nancy’s desk drawer. George wrote their detective files on Nancy’s computer. George knew more about computers than almost anyone else in their third-grade class.
For the next hour the three friends tried on swimsuits in Merkle’s Department Store. Finally Nancy chose one in lavender, her favorite color. Bess picked a blue one, and George got a red one.
I want to look in housewares now,
Hannah said. Your father told me to buy some new everyday dishes.
Could we sit on the benches out in the mall and wait for you?
Nancy asked.
Please!
Bess said. I am totally tired from modeling swimsuits!
Nancy and George rolled their eyes at each other.
All right,
Hannah said, but stay together.
We know the rules,
the three friends replied.
Just as they left the store, Nancy exclaimed, Hey, there’s a poster for the circus. I can hardly wait until it gets here!
Me either!
George said.
Oh, look! There’s Deirdre,
Bess said. Hmm. Why is she going into Feathers and Beads?
Feathers and Beads sold fashion accessories at a discount.
That’s weird,
Nancy said. She brushed a strand of reddish blond hair out of her eyes. Deirdre usually only shops where she can spend a lot of money.
Deirdre Shannon was in the girls’ third-grade class. Everyone knew that her parents gave her everything she wanted.
That’s the truth,
George said. She sighed. I could buy a computer for what Deirdre spends on one pair of shoes.
I smell another mystery here, Clue Crew!
Bess said. Nancy, get out your purple notebook and pencil and write this all down.
There’s no mystery here, Bess,
Nancy said.
Oh, but there is!
Bess told her. Why is Deirdre in a store where things don’t cost a lot of money?
That’s easy,
Nancy said. She’s already spent her allowance this month.
But Deirdre doesn’t get an allowance,
Bess said. She gets money on demand.
"And she’s always demanding it," George added with a snicker.
Well, I guess we could . . . ,
Nancy started to say, but just then Hannah came out of Merkle’s Department Store. Girls! I am so excited!
she said. "I found a lasagna dish just like the one we used to have, so I’m going to
