    About this ebook

    A night at the museum and a broken sculpture lead to artistic injustice—unless Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew can find the true culprit!

    Nancy, Bess, and George are so excited. Their favorite new art teacher, Miss Alcott, is taking them on their best class trip yet—a sleepover at the River Heights museum! The girls can’t wait to see some famous paintings, eat fancy food at the museum cafeteria, and have a great time with their classmates on the sleepover.

    But when an expensive sculpture gets broken, the River Heights students get blamed. Nancy knows her class didn’t do it, so it’s up to the Clue Crew to find the real culprit before Miss Alcott gets in trouble and the whole field trip is ruined!

      Museum Mayhem - Carolyn Keene

      A Work of Art

      Eight-year-old Nancy Drew held the mirror in her hand, studying the shape of her right eye. She kept looking at her drawing, then back at her reflection. She wanted to get it just right. I think my eyes look like bugs . . . , Nancy said finally.

      Her best friend George Fayne leaned over to see. Nancy had a point. Her hair looked the way it did in real life, but her eyes were big ovals with a line down the center. The lashes curled out on both sides, kind of like creepy bug legs.

      A little bit, George said. The insides look weird. What do you call those things?

      The pupils! Miss Alcott said as she walked by. She was carrying a tray of art supplies. There were old coffee cans full of paintbrushes and rolled up tubes of paint. You need to fill them out a bit, that’s all. Good work, girls.

      Nancy looked at her reflection again, then made the pupil a circle instead of a line. Miss Alcott had given her the perfect tip. The circle really did make her eyes look more real.

      Sometimes it seems like she knows everything, Nancy whispered to George.

      Bess Marvin stood two easels over. She was hard at work on her self-portrait. Bess was Nancy’s other best friend and George’s cousin. She loved fashion and design. Whenever they were in art together, Bess was quiet. She would work the entire class and never look up from her drawing.

      My mom told me that Miss Alcott studied in Spain for two years before coming to River Heights Elementary, George said.

      No way, Nancy whispered. I heard she plays the guitar too. Hannah thought she saw a poster for her band at the music club downtown.

      The girls watched their teacher move around the classroom, weaving between easels. She dropped off a few pencils and erasers to different students. Miss Alcott was the coolest teacher to ever come to their school. She had a purple streak in her hair and wore peacock-feather earrings. She was always showing the class famous paintings or drawings. Once she even brought in a collage she had done of New York City—where she grew up. The buildings were made out of newspaper and scraps of glittery fabric, which made them sparkle. Nancy had never seen a piece of art like that before.

      Sydney Decker, a student at the easel beside them, seemed to be listening to their conversation. Sydney was supersmart. She always got As on her science tests and math tests, even when everyone else failed. I heard she traveled all around Peru, Sydney chimed in. She told Jess Ramos that she got her bag in Lima.

      Lima? George asked. Like the bean?

      No, silly, Sydney said. Lima—the capital of Peru. You know, Machu Picchu?

      Nancy and George shared a look. They had heard of Peru before, but sometimes it felt like Sydney was speaking another language. Geography was one of her favorite subjects, so she always talked about different countries. Sometimes they would catch her looking at maps in computer class.

      Robby Parsons looked up from his drawing. He wasn’t very good at art, so his pictures always ended up a bit strange. His nose looked like a mushroom. His eyes were two different shapes and sizes. Miss Alcott liked to call his drawings abstract.

      Do you know where she lives? Robby asked. It has to be somewhere cool.

      "She lives downtown in one
