CHAPTER ONE
A Mysterious Invitation
You got a letter, Nancy,
Hannah Gruen said.
Eight-year-old Nancy Drew glanced up from her blueberry bagel with extra cream cheese. Hannah was on the other side of the kitchen counter, sorting through the day’s mail.
Who’s it from?
Nancy asked curiously.
I’m not sure, honey,
replied Hannah.
She handed Nancy a plain white envelope. Nancy licked the cream cheese from her fingers before taking the envelope and studying it carefully. Her name and address were typed on the front. There was a River Heights postmark and a stamp with a picture of spring flowers. There was no return address.
Hmm, it’s a mystery,
Nancy said thoughtfully.
Hannah chuckled. She knew how much Nancy loved mysteries. Nancy and her two best friends, George Fayne and Bess Marvin, had started their own detective club called the Clue Crew. They solved all sorts of cases—everything from catching an escaped pony to finding missing baby chicks.
Hannah was the Drews’ housekeeper. But she was much more than that. She had lived with Nancy and her father, Carson Drew, since Nancy’s mother had died five years ago.
Nancy picked up a letter opener and slit open the envelope. Inside was an official-looking card. Across the front of the card, it said:
REPORT CARD
GRADING PERIOD: SPRING
STUDENT: NANCY DREW
Nancy gulped. Her report card? She wasn’t sure she wanted to see that right now. The math test last Friday had been superhard. And what if her teacher, Mrs. Ramirez, hadn’t liked her essay on the rain forest?
What is it, Nancy?
Hannah asked her.
It’s, uh, my report card,
Nancy replied nervously.
Your report card!
Hannah exclaimed. Isn’t it a little early for that?
Nancy shrugged. She took a deep breath, opened it—and gasped.
Inside, there were no As—or Bs, or Cs, or Ds. There were no comments from Mrs. Ramirez. Instead there was an announcement in big bold letters:
APRIL FOOL’S DAY!
WELL, NOT JUST YET.
I’M HAVING AN APRIL FOOL’S DAY PARTY,
AND YOU’RE INVITED!
THERE WILL BE LOTS OF FOOD AND GAMES.
MAKE SURE TO BRING A GAG,
BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A GRAND PRIZE
FOR THE BEST ONE!
Nancy read the rest of the invitation. It was from April Funk, who lived down the street. April had moved to River Heights a few months ago. Like Nancy, she was in third grade at River Heights Elementary School, although she was in a different class.
Nancy, George, and Bess had quickly become friends with April, who had a great sense of humor. April was always telling jokes and pulling goofy pranks. It was just like her to throw an April Fool’s Day party, and to send such a funny invitation, too!
Well, that’s a lot better than a report card, isn’t it?
Hannah laughed as she read the invitation over Nancy’s shoulder.
Definitely,
Nancy agreed.
The phone rang just then. Hannah picked it up. Hello?
she said. Oh, hi, Bess. Yes, she’s sitting right here.
Hannah handed the phone to Nancy. For you.
Nancy grabbed the phone. Hi, Bess!
Hi, Nancy,
Bess said. Did you, uh, just get your report card?
Nancy giggled. I just got it. Did you, uh, just get your report card too?
Yup, and so did George,
Bess replied. "Yay! We’re
