    About this ebook

    Nancy, Bess, and George solve a doggone puzzler of a mystery during the annual River Heights Halloween Pet Parade in the sixth book in an all-new, interactive Nancy Drew chapter book mystery series.

    Nancy, Bess, and George are gearing up for a weekend of River Heights Halloween activities, including the annual Howl-A-Ween Pet Parade! All the kids get to dress up their pets and march with them up Main Street. Nancy’s dog, Chocolate Chip, is even picked to lead the parade atop a festive hay wagon float!

    But right before show time, Chip starts whining, running in circles, and burrowing into the hay! When Nancy can’t calm her down, the parade officials remove her as the leader!

    Nancy, Bess, and George wonder if something—or someone—made Chip act that way. Nancy pulls out her clue book; the Clue Crew is on the case! Who’s behind Chip’s strange doggy behavior? Is it Deidre Shannon, who was mad that Chip was chosen over her princess puppy Pom-Pom to lead the parade? Felipe the Pet Trainer, who wanted a dog he was training to lead the parade? Or is it—yikes!—the ghost of Murray the Monster Mutt? Will the Clue Crew crack this case before all the River Heights pets go batty?

      Pets on Parade - Carolyn Keene

      CHIP, CHIP, HOORAY!

      I don’t get it, Nancy, eight-year-old George Fayne admitted. If Chocolate Chip is dressed up as a vampire, then where are her fangs?

      Nancy Drew, also eight, couldn’t answer. She was too busy trying to keep her puppy from chasing a squirrel in the park!

      Dogs already have pointy teeth, George, Bess Marvin, Nancy’s other best friend said. Like furry vampires.

      Chip howls like a vampire too. Nancy giggled as the squirrel ran away. But only when she sees a squirrel!

      I thought only werewolves howl! George said.

      Maybe vampire dogs do too! Nancy joked.

      It was Friday afternoon and a few days before Halloween. Thanks to Mayor Strong the Halloween fun had already begun in River Heights, starting with a Howl-a-ween Pet Parade on Saturday.

      Neat! Bess said as the friends gazed around the park. It’s like all the pets in River Heights are here.

      "But only one pet will get to lead the Howl-a-ween Parade, Nancy reminded her. Hopefully the judges will like Chip in the pet show today and pick her!"

      The judges were already seated at a picnic table. Instead of a picnic basket, lemonade, and potato salad, the table was covered with papers and pens.

      I know all the judges’ names! Bess said. They’re Ted and Tanya Rupert, the owners of the Fur-Ever Glam Pet Salon; Dr. Emily Poulos, a veterinarian; and Felipe Gomez!

      Felipe Gomez? Nancy exclaimed. He’s a dog-trainer superstar!

      Almost anyone with a dog knew Felipe and his web series The Peaceful Pet. Felipe trained dogs the Felipe Way. That day he would demonstrate his method on a River Heights dog—Mayor Strong’s big drooling dog, Huey!

      The judges look like they’re getting ready for the pet show soon, George pointed out. Do you think Chip is ready, Nancy?

      Nancy nodded. She knew Chip would behave as the pets marched single-file past the judges’ table. But good behavior wasn’t the only thing the judges would look for.

      I hope Felipe and the other judges like Chip’s vampire costume best, Nancy said. It once belonged to Murray the Monster Mutt!

      Who? Bess asked.

      Nancy pointed to the three M’s stitched to the back of the cape. Murray the Monster Mutt had his own TV show before we were born. My dad found Murray’s cape at a vintage clothes store on Main Street!

      I heard about that show from my mom and dad, George said. But where’s Murray now?

      I don’t have a clue, Nancy admitted. I just know that Murray lived right here in River Heights—

      And now he’s a ghost-dog! someone cut in.

      Nancy turned to see Quincy Taylor from the girls’ third grade class. Perched on Quincy’s shoulder was his ferret, Slinky, dressed as a clown.

      What do you mean? What’s a ghost-dog? Nancy asked.

      Dogs don’t live as long as humans do, Quincy explained. So Murray has got to be a ghost by now.

      "Not if Murray really is a vampire dog, George informed. Then he’d live forever!"

      Quincy pointed to Chip’s cape. Aren’t you scared that Murray’s cape will turn your dog into a Monster Mutt too?

      No way! Nancy chuckled. I’ve heard of haunted houses, not haunted capes!

      And we’re detectives, Bess pointed out proudly. So if there were ghosts around, we’d have found them by now!

      Nancy nodded in agreement. She, Bess, and George loved solving mysteries more than anything. So much that they started their own detective club called
