    About this ebook

    "I'm the best!" "No, I'm the best!" Who is the best detective of all?
    Nancy Drew's special detective notebook is gone! And, boy, is she in trouble. Inside were three passes - for her, Bess, and George - to the most spectacular movie of all time, Star Quest 2. Sure, Nancy's friends will forgive her...maybe in a million years. Even worse, Jason Hutchings is looking for the notebook - just to prove how easy it is to be a detective. One thing's for sure: these days, it's not easy being Nancy Drew!

      The

      Best Defective

      If you’re all such great detectives, Jenny March said, "help me find another pass for Star Quest 2."

      "So solve that if you’re such a super duper incredible detective, Jason Hutchings said to Nancy. Come on, you have ten seconds."

      Nancy shrugged and held on to her blue detective notebook. I don’t need ten seconds because it’s not a mystery. You have to learn what a mystery is before you can be a detective.

      I don’t need to learn anything, Jason said. I’d be the best detective if I could just get my hands on one thing.

      What? Bess asked.

      Nancy’s notebook! Jason yelled as he jerked it out of Nancy’s hands.
