    About this ebook

    There's trouble backstage!
    Peppermint Penny's clothing shop is having a back-to-school fashion show, and Nancy is one of the models. Everything is perfect -- until somebody cuts a hole in the show's star attraction, a black velvet coat from Paris.
    Meanwhile, Brenda Carlton is passing out copies of the Carlton News. Her new gossip column says that Nancy did the damage. Now Nancy and her friends have to turn a fashion disaster inside out and catch the real cut-up at the show!

      Best-dressed Detective

      I can’t believe we’re going to be in a real fashion show!" eight-year-old Nancy Drew said to her friends. They had just walked into Peppermint Penny’s, their favorite store.

      I wonder if we’ll get to keep the clothes we model, her best friend Bess Marvin said.

      Nancy’s other best friend, George Fayne, shook her head. Bess! If you had any more clothes, your closet would burst.

      Bess smiled at her cousin. It already has!

      The girls were excited. The fashion show would be held right inside Peppermint Penny’s. The models were kids from River Heights. Two of those kids were Nancy and Bess.

      Wow! Nancy said. Peppermint Penny’s has never looked like this.

      The girls looked around the store. A long red carpet ran from the back of the store to the front. Rows of chairs lined both sides of the carpet. Tied to each chair was a colorful balloon.

      Above the racks of clothes were signs that read, Back to School.

      I don’t get it, George said. We have three weeks of summer vacation left. Why do all the signs say, Back to School?

      Nancy smiled. So we can have a back-to-school fashion show!

      Nancy, look! Bess said. She pointed to a clock on the wall. It’s already one o’clock. The fashion show starts in just an hour.

      Nancy saw the owner of the store, Penny, rush by. She and her salesgirl, Tara, were counting chairs.

      Penny had short dark hair and blue eyes. She was wearing black pants and a shiny red blouse. Tara had brown hair and freckles. She wore a striped T-shirt and tan pants.

      I’ll bet Penny and Tara are as excited as we are, Nancy said.

      And probably as nervous, Bess said. She turned to George. Did you change your mind about being in the show?

      Not unless I can model my jeans and soccer shirt, George said.

      Bess rolled her eyes, but Nancy giggled. As cousins, Bess and George were nothing alike.

      That’s okay, George, Nancy said. You’re going to help us change into our outfits during the fashion show.

      The other kids who were going to be models began to arrive. Nancy saw eight-year-old Kendra Cartwright and nine-year-old Scott Mancuso. Then Nancy saw someone she didn’t expect.

      "Don’t tell
