Princess on Parade - Carolyn Keene
Heads Up!
Nancy and Brenda ran to the float. As they climbed up to the haystack, Nancy saw a scarecrow lying on top. It had a huge pumpkin head and mean-looking eyes.
That scarecrow is ugly,
Brenda said. Her voice was shaking.
Yeah,
Nancy agreed. It would scare me if I were a crow.
Just then the pumpkin head turned slowly. It was looking at them!
Do you see what I see?
Brenda asked, grabbing Nancy’s arm.
Nancy gulped. I—I think it’s, it’s— alive.
Nancy and Brenda screamed.
The creepy scarecrow was coming straight toward them!

Picking a Princess
We’re going to have the best float in the whole parade!" Nancy Drew said, tossing a plastic apple into a straw basket.
My turn,
Bess Marvin called out. Bess was Nancy’s best friend. She aimed a plastic orange at the basket but missed. Instead of landing inside, the fruit rolled off the edge of the wooden float.
Whoops!
Nancy giggled.
It was Thursday, after school. The volunteers of Carl Sandburg Elementary School were helping Ms. Frick, the art teacher. They were preparing their float for the River Heights Fall Festival parade on Sunday.
The kids had named the float the Pumpkin Patch Dream. Besides Nancy and Bess, Brenda Carlton, Jason Hutchings, and Jennifer Young were part of the third-grade group working on it. Some fourth- and fifth-graders were helping, too.
I wish George could be here,
Nancy told Bess. Georgia Fayne was Bess’s cousin and Nancy’s other best friend. Everyone called her George. She had broken her arm in a soccer game a few weeks earlier.
Me, too,
Bess said. But she’s getting her new cast put on today. I can’t wait to sign it.
Ms. Frick jumped off the float and stepped back to look at it. The float’s looking good, kids. It just needs a few finishing touches.
Nancy liked Ms. Frick. Each day the teacher wore a different pair of cool earrings. That afternoon she had on huge dangling ones shaped like pumpkins.
Do you think we’ll win the prize for best school float?
Bess asked Nancy.
Sure!
Nancy said. We have the only float with a real-live Pumpkin Princess.
And don’t forget,
Bess
