    About this ebook

    Nancy, George, and Bess are taking a cooking class at Le Gourmet. And they are learning to make desserts! Nancy can’t think of a sweeter way to spend her spring break than whipping up tasty concoctions with her two best friends. Then at the end of the week, Monsieur Jadot will name one student “Top Chef” at a special ceremony. Nancy can’t help but wonder, will her dessert take the cake?

    But this sugary sweet class turns sour when whacky things start happening, and Nancy discovers that someone is tinkering with the recipes! Smells like a mystery—and one Nancy must solve before dessert is served!

      A Sweet Spring Vacation

      Yay! It’s spring vacation!" Eight-year-old Nancy Drew said happily.

      Nancy’s best friend George Fayne, whose real name was Georgia, skipped along next to her. No school for a whole week! George said.

      George’s cousin, Bess Marvin, trailed behind the two of them. Bess was Nancy’s other best friend. "But what are we going to do for a whole week? Bess moaned. We’ll be totally bored!"

      The three girls were walking home from Carl Sandberg Elementary School. They were third-graders there. It was Friday afternoon, the beginning of their spring vacation.

      The warm April breeze stirred Nancy’s strawberry-blonde hair. There were flowers everywhere: pink cherry blossoms, yellow daffodils, and bright red tulips. Nancy loved spring!

      "There’s lots of stuff we could do for spring vacation," Nancy told Bess.

      Bess scrunched her nose. Really? Like what?

      We could play video games, George suggested.

      I’m sick of my video games! Bess complained.

      We could do science experiments, Nancy said.

      That’s too much like school, Bess pointed out.

      Don’t worry, Bess, we’ll come up with a really fun plan! George told her.

      They soon got to Nancy’s house. Bess and George had gotten permission to stay for dinner too.

      Nancy and her friends found the Drews’ housekeeper, Hannah Gruen, in the kitchen. Hannah had helped Mr. Drew take care of Nancy since Nancy’s mother died five years ago. She was flipping through a cookbook.

      Nancy’s dog, Chocolate Chip, was sitting at Hannah’s feet. She was a black Labrador puppy. Chip bounced to her feet and licked Nancy’s hand.

      Hi, ladies, Hannah called out cheerfully. I was just looking for something yummy to make for dinner.

      Nancy put her backpack on the counter. She gave Hannah a hug. How about tacos? Your tacos are super-yummy!

      How about chocolate cake? Bess suggested. "Your chocolate cake is super-super-yummy!"

      Hannah laughed. Chocolate cake is usually for dessert.

      Did someone say dessert?

      Nancy turned around. Carson Drew was standing in the doorway. He was dressed in a blue suit, white shirt, and a tie with Labrador puppies all over it. Nancy had given the tie to him last year for Father’s Day.

      Nancy ran up to her father and threw her arms around his neck. Hi, Daddy!

      Hi, Pudding Pie, he said. Pudding Pie was his special nickname for her. Hi, Bess. Hi, George. Hi, Hannah. Are you all plotting what to make for dinner?

      Yes, Daddy! Nancy replied.

      "And before that, we were plotting something else—what to do for spring vacation," George piped up.

      Bess nodded. "We didn’t
