About this ebook
But the fun really turns scary when strange things start to happen and Lester disappears from his cage. Even the villains of Scarytales are spooked! Could the troublemaker be Amara’s pesky little cousin Ernest, or the grouchy troll with a plan up his sleeve, or the wicked witch who threatens to pop Lester into her bubbling brew? Can Nancy solve this creepy case before Amara’s birthday is ruined?

Chillin’ with Villains
Since when do parrots go to sleepovers?" eight-year-old Nancy Drew asked her friend Katie Zaleski.
My cousin is visiting and he’s allergic to feathers,
Katie answered. So Amara told me I could bring Lester to the party.
Katie sat in the backseat of the Drews’ car. She held her pet parrot’s cage on her lap.
Row, row, row your boat!
Lester screeched. Arrrk!
He’s going to keep us up all night!
Nancy’s best friend Bess Marvin groaned.
It’s a sleepover!
Nancy’s other best friend, George Fayne, said. We’re supposed to stay up all night!
Nancy smiled. She sat in the front seat between her friend Mari Cheng and the Drews’ housekeeper, Hannah Gruen. Bess, George, and Katie sat in the backseat.
All aboard the sleepover express!
Hannah announced as she started the car.
Hannah had been the Drews’ housekeeper since Nancy was only three years old. Hannah cooked yummy meals for Nancy and made sure her clothes were neat and clean. But today Hannah was driving Nancy and her friends to Amara Shane’s first sleepover.
Nancy had been to sleepovers before, but this one would be special.
Amara was having her sleepover at Scarytales—a big old house where the villains from all different fairy tales—like the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood
and Captain Hook from Peter Pan— came to life.
Amara’s aunt Ellen owned Scarytales. She lived there with her seven-year-old son, Ernest.
I can’t believe we’re spending the night with fairy tale villains!
Bess said. She tugged at her blond ponytail. Those parts of the stories always gave me goose bumps!
Amara told us it’s more fun than scary,
Nancy said. She’s been there so many times she knows exactly what will happen.
Villains are the best!
George said, her dark eyes flashing. What would Hansel and Gretel be without the witch?
Safe!
Bess shuddered.
Mari shook her head at Bess and George. Are you two sure you’re cousins?
Last we checked!
George joked. George’s real name was Georgia. But hardly anyone called her that.
Hannah drove the car through River Heights. It was only six o’clock but the October night sky was already dark.
What’s that around your neck, Mari?
Hannah asked.
A camera!
Mari said proudly. It develops pictures in just a few seconds!
Great!
Nancy said. You can take pictures of all the villains!
If they let you,
Bess groaned.
Hannah slowed the car down. Here it is,
she announced. Scarytales!
Nancy leaned over Mari to look out the side window. She saw a big old house and a yard filled with brown leaves. In front of the house was a narrow creek and a wooden bridge.
