Dare at the Fair - Carolyn Keene
Abracadabra Disaster
Look in your pocket,
Orson said.
Nancy reached in and pulled out a slimy rubber tarantula. Gross,
she said. That thing was in the same pocket as my banana taffy.
Make sure Orson didn’t leave any more yucky things in your pocket,
Jessie said.
Nancy carefully dipped her hand into her pocket again. There were no more creepy crawlies. But then Nancy noticed something even more scary.
Oh, no!
Nancy gasped.
What is it, Nancy?
George asked.
The taffy is missing,
Nancy said. And so are the passes!

Big Thrills … and Chills
I’ve been waiting all year for this day!" Eight-year-old Nancy Drew was standing at the entrance to Big Thrills Fun Fair.
Wouldn’t it be cool if Big Thrills was open even in the winter?
Bess Marvin asked.
Sure,
George Fayne said. If you’re a polar bear.
"Then the roller coaster would be a polar coaster," Nancy said with a giggle.
Bess and George were cousins. They were also Nancy’s two best friends. They were all together for the most exciting Saturday of the year. It was the day that Big Thrills opened for the season.
I still can’t believe Jessie is getting us passes to get in free for the whole week,
Nancy said.
Seven days of total fun!
George said. She pointed two thumbs up.
Jessie Shapiro was in the same third-grade class as Nancy, Bess, and George. Her mother worked at Big Thrills. Mrs. Shapiro was able to get passes for Jessie and her friends.
Guess what?
Jessie called as she ran over from the ticket window. My mom is getting the passes right now.
Super!
Nancy cried. She brushed her reddish blond bangs from her eyes.
Why aren’t you giving a pass to Rebecca Ramirez, Jessie?
Bess asked. Isn’t she your best friend?
"Rebecca was my best friend—until last Sunday, Jessie said.
That’s when she took Amara Shane on a family picnic instead of me."
Did you talk to Rebecca about it?
Nancy asked Jessie.
I don’t ever want to speak to Rebecca again,
Jessie said.
Well,
Nancy said, "it’s too bad
