    About this ebook

    Mystery mouth's voice is Nancy's first clue!
    Nancy has a new set of hot green walkie-talkies to use in busy places like the mail. But when Bess and George try them out, one of the walkie-talkies disappears. Nancy thinks a bratty boy they know may have taken it.
    Then Mystery Mouth starts sending Nancy messages on the remaining walkie-talkie. Each message contains a clue. Soon Nancy and her friends are on a crazy chase all over town. Mystery Mouth is talking, but it's Nancy who's doing the walking -- to find out who walked off with the walkie-talkie!

      The Walkie-Talkie Mystery - Carolyn Keene

      1

      Over and Out

      —and Gone!

      I'll give you a hint, eight-year-old Nancy Drew said. It comes in a set. And it's smaller than a lunchbox."

      Golf clubs! Bess Marvin guessed.

      Bess's cousin George Fayne rolled her dark eyes. Bess! she said. Golf clubs aren't smaller than a lunchbox!

      Okay, then, Bess said, her blue eyes lighting up."Miniaturegolf clubs!"

      Nancy laughed. It was Wednesday afternoon. Her best friends, Bess and George, were trying to guess what she had in the shopping bag.

      Time's up, Nancy said. She reached into the small shopping bag and pulled out two hot-green gadgets.

      They were shaped like small radios. Each had buttons, dials, and a green antenna. They looked exactly the same.

      What are they? George asked.

      They're walkie-talkies, Nancy said excitedly. If I speak into one walkie-talkie, then the person with the other can hear me up to two miles away.

      Two miles! George exclaimed. Are you going to use them when you solve your mysteries, Nancy?

      Nancy shook her head. She loved solving mysteries. She even had a blue detective notebook where she wrote her suspects and clues. But the walkie-talkies were for a different reason.

      My father wants us to use them in crowded places, Nancy said. In case we get separated. Or lost.

      I wish I had a walkie-talkie, George said. Then if I got lost in the mall, my mom would know where to find me.

      "Everyone knows where to findyou,George, Bess joked. In the sports store."

      Ha, ha, George said. She twirled the soccer whistle around her neck.

      Daddy and I are going to use them in the mall this Saturday, Nancy said. When I go shopping for back-to-school clothes.

      School? George cried. It's only the middle of August. We still have three weeks, six days, and sixteen hours to go.

      Nancy began to put the walkie-talkies back in the shopping bag.

      Don't put them away yet, Bess said. Not before we play with them.

      Can't, Nancy said. My dad said that the walkie-talkies aren't a toy.

      "We wouldn'treallybe playing with them, George said. Just giving them a test run."

      Nancy had already tested her walkie-talkies with her dad. But she still wanted to show her friends how they worked.

      Okay, Nancy said. But we have to be very careful.

      The girls walked out of the Drews’ yard onto the sidewalk. Nancy set both walkie-talkies to the same channel.

      She was about to hand one to Bess when she heard someone yell:

      BEEP! BEEP!

      Nancy looked up. Jason Hutchings and Mike Minelli were riding up her block on silver scooters.

      Pests on wheels, George
