CHAPTER ONE
Beaches and Scream
Stop the van!
Bess Marvin cried. I forgot something important!
Eight-year-old Nancy Drew turned to her best friend Bess. So did her other best friend, George Fayne.
What did you forget?
Nancy Drew asked. Your new swimsuit with the polka dots? Your sunglasses?
Those funny-looking flip-flops of yours that look like banana peels?
George asked.
All three friends were sitting side by side in the backseat of Mrs. Fayne’s catering van.
They’re not funny looking!
Bess said. Her blond hair whipped Nancy’s face as she shook her head. I forgot to put sunscreen between my toes. My bag is in the trunk.
George heaved a big sigh. She was Bess’s cousin but with her dark hair and brown eyes looked nothing like Bess.
You already put tons of sunscreen on, Bess,
George said. My mom’s van smells like the inside of a coconut!
Nancy took a whiff. The inside of Mrs. Fayne’s van usually smelled like coleslaw and pickles. That’s because cooking and delivering food was part of her catering job.
Don’t worry, Bess,
Mrs. Fayne said. Her eyes twinkled in the rearview mirror as she drove. As soon as we get to Barnacle Beach you can put on more sunscreen.
Beach!
Nancy repeated. She was so excited, she had the wiggles. It was Tuesday morning and the start of summer vacation. The girls couldn’t wait to get to Barnacle Beach to help Mrs. Fayne with a special pirate-themed party. There would be swashbuckling games, pirate decorations, a treasure chest filled with party favors—and kids, kids, kids!
Who is the party for, Aunt Louise?
Bess asked.
It’s for twins named Ivy and Damien Teasdale,
Mrs. Fayne explained. They and their little cousin are spending the summer with their grandmother.
"Their rich grandmother, George added.
I heard she lives in a mansion with her own private beach."
A private beach?
Bess said, her blue eyes flashing. I’ll bet every kid around will be at that party.
I’m afraid not, Bess,
Mrs. Fayne said. Mrs. Teasdale sent out invitations, but no one is coming.
Why not?
Nancy asked with surprise.
Mrs. Teasdale didn’t tell me,
Mrs. Fayne said, shrugging her shoulders as she drove. I guess it’s a mystery.
If anyone knew about mysteries, it was Nancy, Bess, and George. They had their own detective club called the Clue Crew.
It’s a mystery, all right,
Bess said. Whoever heard of a kids party without kids?
That’s why you girls are coming,
Mrs. Fayne explained. "I promised Mrs. Teasdale food, fun, and friends!"
The girls high-fived. Then they gazed out the car windows for signs of Barnacle Beach. The first one they saw was a colorful billboard that read WELCOME TO BARNACLE BEACH—HOME OF LONNY THE LAKE LIZARD!
Who’s Lonny the Lake Lizard?
Nancy wondered.
"You mean what’s Lonny the Lake Lizard?" George asked.
Mrs. Fayne drove another five minutes before pulling up to a big white house with red shutters. A sign over the front door read BARNACLE BETTY’S LAKESIDE LODGE.
Welcome to our hotel,
Mrs. Fayne announced. It’s right up the road from the Teasdale mansion.
The girls glanced up the road to see a huge pink house. Super huge. The front yard had a rose garden and hedges trimmed to look like seahorses and dolphins.
Not too shabby!
George exclaimed.
While Mrs. Fayne parked the van the girls carried their gear into the hotel. Nancy wheeled her purple suitcase, George carried her backpack and her mom’s laptop computer case, and Bess
