    About this ebook

    Nancy, George, and Bess can’t believe the out-of-this-world contest McCormick’s grocery store is having—the kid who guess the number of jelly beans in the jar wins a trip to a space camp!

    Nancy is superexcited because she has been studying the stars and planets with her brand-new telescope, and space camp would be just the thing to test her new skills. But then the jelly-bean jar goes missing, and it looks like no one will get the chance to blast off to space camp. Who would steal a jelly-bean jar? Nancy must use her star-power detective skills to find out!

      Space Case - Carolyn Keene

      1

      Eye Spy

      Go ahead, Bess, eight-year-old Nancy Drew said. Pick a star and make a wish!"

      It was Monday night. Nancy brushed her reddish-blonde bangs away from her eyes and stepped out of Bess’s way. Bess tilted the telescope out Nancy’s bedroom window toward the sky.

      What should I wish for? Bess asked.

      How about a new bike? How about ice cream for dessert every day? Nancy said to her best friend.

      Nancy’s other best friend, George Fayne, stood on her head against the wall. I know! she said. Make a wish that you’ll win the Guess-the-Jelly-Beans contest!

      Good idea! Nancy said.

      Earlier that day Nancy, Bess, and George had gone to McCormick’s Supermarket to guess the number of jelly beans in a big glass jar. The boy or girl who guessed the closest would win a week at Cosmic Kids Space Camp!

      Nancy, Bess, and George had studied the jelly beans in the jar. Then they each wrote their guess on a card and dropped it into a cardboard box decorated with stars.

      Nancy loved guessing games. Guessing was like solving a mystery. And Nancy was the best detective at Carl Sandberg Elementary School!

      Starlight, star bright, Bess wished out loud. I wish that George or Nancy wins the jelly bean contest.

      How come you didn’t wish for yourself to win, Bess? Nancy asked.

      I don’t want to win! Bess declared.

      Nancy was surprised. She thought everybody wanted to win. Why not, Bess? she asked.

      I’m afraid of heights and aliens! Bess explained. How can I go to space camp if I’m afraid of heights and aliens?

      George’s dark curls bounced as she flipped over and landed on her back. Bess and George were cousins, but they didn’t look alike or act alike.

      Give me a break, Bess! George groaned. "The winner wins a week at space camp. It’s where kids learn what it’s like to be an astronaut!"

      "And the winner gets to take along two friends, Nancy said. So if one of us wins, we all get to go!"

      Bess twirled her blonde ponytail between her fingers as she thought. She smiled and said, Then I do wish we win!

      I wish we knew exactly how many jelly beans were in that jar! George said.

      Only Mr. McCormick knows for sure, Nancy reminded her. He said he secretly filled the jar with tropical-flavored jelly beans from his store.

      George giggled. At least they weren’t Smelly Jellies!
