      This book is about Nancy Drew and her friends. They go to a candy factory and solve a mystery. I liked this book because I like to read mysteries. It was one of the first Nancy Drew books I have read.

    A Tasty Trip

    Nancy Drew stared out the school bus window. When will we get there? she said.

    I know. I can’t wait, agreed Nancy’s best friend Bess Marvin. She was sitting in the seat right behind Nancy. A class field trip to Zuckerman’s Zonked Candy Factory. My wildest dreams are coming true!

    Yeah! All the candy we can eat, said Bess’s cousin George Fayne. She was sitting next to Nancy.

    Bess and George were as different as two cousins could be. Brown-haired George was tall and loved sports. Bess had long blond hair. She didn’t like to do anything that made her dirty or sweaty. But both cousins loved candy.

    Everybody else in the girls’ third-grade class was excited about the field trip, too. Over the chatter of the other kids, Bess announced, Nobody’s going to eat more candy than me on this field trip!

    Oh, yeah? yelled a voice a few seats back. It was Josie Blanton. She had the sweetest of all the sweet tooths at Carl Sandburg Elementary.

    I’ll have you beat easy, Bess, Josie said. I even made a candy-eating plan. See?

    Josie held up her notebook. It had a peppermint pink cover. She opened it. On one page she had printed:

    1) Start with the heavy stuff—chocolates and caramels.

    2) Exercise the jaws with jelly bears and taffy.

    3) Go for anything super-sour.

    4) Finish with long-lasting mints and an all-day sucker.

    You’re the only person I know who studies for a field trip, Josie, George said. She rolled her brown eyes.

    Hey, I take my candy seriously, Josie answered. When I grow up, I want to have a candy factory just like Zuckerman’s Zonked. Ow!

    The bus had lurched to a halt. Josie, who was standing when she should have been sitting, bonked her nose on the seat in front of her. She rubbed her nose grumpily.

    But when she glanced out the window, her scowl turned into a laugh. Wow! she yelled.

    Nancy looked, too. She squealed with delight. Zuckerman’s Zonked Candy Factory was a tall brick building. It would have looked ordinary, except every brick was painted a different color of the rainbow.

    The bricks look like jelly beans! Bess exclaimed, licking her lips.

    I can’t wait to see the inside! George shouted.

    All the kids tumbled into the bus aisle. They clapped their hands and jumped up and down in excitement.

    Single file, children, called their teacher, Mrs. Reynolds. Then she led the class off the bus and through the factory’s front door. The door looked like a big, smiling
