    About this ebook


    This camp is WILD!

    Nancy, George, and Bess are attending a three-day overnight camp at the local zoo. They'll get to spend lots of time with all of the animals and learn about them too. The best part is, they will be helping the zookeeper make toys for the animals -- just like real staffers!

    But when the toys the girls make by day are disappearing at night, it looks like everyone is a suspect! Can Nancy tame this wild case, or will the zoo animals be without anything fun to do?

      The Zoo Crew - Carolyn Keene

      I wonder what our first day at zoo camp will be like, said Nancy Drew, smiling at her two best friends.

      I heard we earn junior zookeeper badges, Bess Marvin said excitedly. If we do a good job!

      I heard they put real bugs in the bug juice, George Fayne said.

      Nancy and Bess stared at George.

      Quit it, George, said Bess. You know I hate bugs and snakes more than you hate your real name—

      Don’t say it! George cut in.

      Too late! Bess said. She pointed to the stick-on label on George’s camp T-shirt. It’s on your name tag.

      George looked down and groaned. There it was in big red letters: GEORGIA FAYNE!

      Nancy giggled as George turned her name tag upside down. It was summer vacation, and River Heights Zoo Camp would be a blast. For the next three days the girls would learn about animals, make animal crafts, and work with zookeepers.

      More campers filed into the building. Nancy thought they looked around eight years old, the same age as Bess, George, and herself.

      Nancy also recognized one camper from her third-grade class at River Heights Elementary School. Kevin Garcia smiled as he walked over.

      What are you guys doing at zoo camp? he asked. I thought you’d be at a special mystery camp for detectives!

      Nancy, Bess, and George traded smiles. They loved solving mysteries. They even had their own detective club they called the Clue Crew. But they loved something else just as much.

      We love animals, Nancy told Kevin. She straightened her zoo camp cap over her reddish blond hair. And that’s no mystery!

      A young woman dressed in a dark green jumpsuit clapped her hands three times for attention.

      I’m your counselor, Joanne Menendez, she said with a smile. I’m also a zookeeper here at the zoo.

      A real live zookeeper, Bess whispered. How cool is that?

      We’re in the Discovery Den, Joanne said, pointing around the room. There are no animals in here, but there is all kinds of information about animals.

      Nancy caught George smiling at a computer. George was a computer whiz and proud of it. She had wanted to go to computer camp—until she heard the food was yucky!

      We’ll roll out our sleeping bags in here at night, Joanne went on. But for now, why don’t you find some empty cubbies and unpack your gear?

      The kids dragged their gear to the cubby shelves. Nancy, Bess, and George picked cubbies next to each other.

      Why did you bring so many clothes, Bess? asked George. We’re going to be wearing our camp T-shirts!

      Some of my blouses look great over T-shirts, Bess said. And I couldn’t decide which shorts to bring, so I brought all seven pairs!

      What did you pack, George? Nancy asked.

      Whatever was clean, George said with a shrug.

      Bess and George were cousins, but they were as different as giraffes and elephants. Bess had blond hair and blue eyes and a closet full of cool clothes. George had dark hair and eyes—and a closet full of worn-out sneakers!

      A girl with short brown hair and freckles walked over to the Clue Crew. Nancy glanced at her name tag: Abby Warner. Without saying hi, Abby dumped her pink duffel bag on the
