About this ebook
The Clue Crew is headed to the mall! They are ready to shop till they drop for new school supplies. First stop: the Pencil Box for glittery notebooks. But right away it looks like the girls have a back-to-school mystery on their hands. Money is missing from the Pencil Box's cash register, and all fingers point to the clerk, Rodger. Rodger is Nancy's neighbor, and she doesn't believe he's a thief. But she'll need to examine the facts first. Good thing she bought a new notebook!

Mystery at the Mall?
Nancy pulled her purple notebook and matching purple pencil from her back pocket. She was glad she’d brought them along.
Opening the notebook to a blank page, Nancy wrote down Missing Money Mystery. Under that, she wrote two columns. One said Clues and a second said Suspects.
The girls then rushed over to Rodger.
We want to help,
said Nancy, holding her notebook firmly in her hand.

Back-to-School Shopping
I just remembered that today’s the day!
eight-year-old George Fayne burst out. There isn’t a second to lose.
George was suddenly talking a mile a minute and pulling on her best friend Nancy Drew’s sleeve. We gotta go now!
But George,
Nancy said in a normal voice that sounded almost snail-like compared to how fast George was talking, I really want your opinion on these new sparkly red sneakers.
