    About this ebook

    Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew are out to solve the case of a stolen stuffed animal.

    River Heights has gone gaga over Make-a-Pets! Nancy and her friends are excited to make their own cuddly stuffed animals—and play the online game Petopia that goes along with Make-a-Pet animals.

    But when Nancy’s friend, Violet, discovers that Hoppity, her Make-a-Pet, is missing, the Clue Crew is called on to help find the missing bunny. It seems there are a few possible suspects—including Violet’s best friend, Sonia, who claims Violet stole the idea about Hoppity from her. Could Violet’s best friend be the culprit? Or is the real thief even more of a surprise?

      The Make-a-Pet Mystery - Carolyn Keene

      I can’t wait to make my very own puppy, Nancy Drew declared as she headed into the main entrance of the River Heights Mall. She pulled off her hat and mittens and stuffed them into her coat pockets.

      "And I can’t wait to make my very own kitty, Bess Marvin piped up. She did a little twirl as she followed behind Nancy. She’s going to be the most beautiful kitty in the world!"

      "Well, I can’t wait to make my very own tiger, Bess’s cousin, George Fayne said. I already have a name for him: Furrrocious!" She held up her hands on either side of her head, pretending to have big tiger ears.

      The three best friends were on their way to a new store at the mall called Make-a-Pet. They had been saving their allowance money for ages so they could each buy—actually, create—their very own Make-a-Pet.

      Hannah Gruen had come along with the girls. Hannah worked as a housekeeper for Nancy and her father, although to Nancy she was more like a mother than a housekeeper.

      Hmm, maybe I should make one of these stuffed animals too. They sound like fun, Hannah said, tucking her car keys into her purse.

      It’s not a stuffed animal, Hannah. It’s a Make-a-Pet! Nancy corrected her.

      Hannah laughed. Oh! My mistake.

      Inside the mall, Nancy paused to figure out where they were going. Over there! she said eagerly, pointing to a storefront on the other side of the fountain. The sign said make-a-pet in different-colored letters. Each letter had a different animal on top of it, including a hopping frog, a waddling duck, and a slithering snake. The snake made Nancy shiver a little.

      Bess grabbed Nancy’s and George’s hands and pulled them toward the store.

      No running! Hannah called after them. Don’t worry, we have plenty of time to make pets before we get pizza!

      Pizza! Normally, Nancy would have been superpsyched about going out for pizza. But right now she was so excited about their Make-a-Pet project that she could hardly think about food—or anything else.

      The inside of the Make-a-Pet store was even more fun and colorful than the sign out front. There were shelves full of puppies, kitties, and other animals dressed up in cool outfits. There were lots of tables, too, with kids making their own pets similar to the ones on the shelves. Nancy wasn’t sure where to start.

      Are you here to make a pet? a young woman asked the three girls in a friendly voice. She wore jeans and a red T-shirt with the Make-a-Pet logo. Her name tag read
