About this ebook
Nancy, Bess, and George are attending Little Big Top circus day camp, and now they're preparing for the big show. Bess will help Splatter the elephant make a painting, George will be an acrobat, and Nancy will perform with Celeste the Hopscotch Poodle.
Then Celeste disappears while Nancy is taking care of her. Was Celeste dognapped by the Flying Tremendoes, the kid aerialists? Or by Orson Wong, who claimed the poodle made him sneeze? Or maybe by Katie Zaleski, who wanted Celeste for the TV program she's taping in her basement? One thing's for sure -- there's big, big trouble at Little Big Top!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
How do you know if there’s an elephant in your refrigerator?" Nancy Drew’s best friend George Fayne asked.
Eight-year-old Nancy tried to imagine an elephant stuffed in her refrigerator.I don’t know,
she asked.How?
His footprints are in the peanut butter!
George laughed.
Nancy’s other best friend, Bess Marvin, wrinkled her nose.Yuck!
she cried.
Nancy smiled. Ever since they had started circus camp a week ago George had come up with lots of elephant jokes.
The three best friends had gone to camp before but nothing like Camp Little Big Top. Each morning for two weeks the girls would meet in a real circus tent inside the park. After a half hour of warm-up exercises the twelve campers learned everything from stilt-walking and unicycling to making balloon animals.
The camp had real animals, too—like Celeste the Hopscotch Poodle and Splatter the baby elephant, who painted pictures with his trunk.
The camp felt like a real circus to Nancy—especially when the cotton candy cart came around at the end of each day.
George—whose real name was Georgia— tugged at the tights under her shimmery gold outfit.Why do we have to wear our costumes today?
she asked.
Because it’s Monday and we’re rehearsing for the Super Show,
Bess reminded her cousin. She adjusted the feathery headdress over her long blond hair. It’s only five days away.
Nancy couldn’t wait. On Saturday night the campers would demonstrate their circusskills in a show with costumes and music. Nancy had been picked to perform with Celeste the Hopscotch Poodle.
The girls sat down on a row of bleachers inside the tent. They had done their warmup stretches. Now they were waiting to rehearse inside the circus ring.
Why can’t I do something great in the Super Show?
Bess asked.
You are, Bess,
Nancy said.You’re helping Splatter paint with his trunk.
Everyone will be clapping for Splatter, not for me,
Bess complained.I’d rather do acrobatics like George is doing. Or swing on the trapeze.
George’s dark curls bounced as she shook her head. Bess, you’re afraid of heights. And you can’t do one cartwheel.
Yes, I can,
Bess argued. I just hate messing up my hair!
Nancy giggled. For cousins, Bess and George were in no way
