      The Purple Fingerprint - Carolyn Keene

      Save Mr. Lizard! Save Mr. Lizard!

      We have something for Mr. Lizard, Karen Koombs said to the security guard at the TV station. She held out the envelope containing the petition.

      I’ll take it, a woman said. I’m Jane, the producer of the show.

      And I’m that other guy, a man with bright red hair said with a wink.

      It’s him! Bess squealed under her breath. It’s Mr. Lizard.

      Nancy and her friends hurried out of the station and onto the sidewalk. Nancy felt very proud—until the doors swung open and Mr. Lizard marched out.

      Is this some kind of joke? Mr. Lizard asked. He reached into the envelope and pulled out a sheet of notebook paper.

      Everyone gasped. Written on it in big purple letters were the words Get rid of Mr. Lizard!!
