The Clue in the Logbook

Okay, who did it?”

Mr. Fish stood in front of the room with his arms crossed over his chest. Nancy, Bess, George, and the rest of the campers were sitting on the floor. Max and Fiona were busily laying a trail of cookie crumbs for the ants to follow out the door.

Everyone was silent. Then Rebecca raised her hand.

“Yes, Rebecca?” Mr. Fish said.

“Maybe you should ask the person who found the ant farms all messed up,” Rebecca said. “I’ve seen detectives do that in movies.”

Bess gasped. “That’s you, Nancy!” she whispered.

“Thanks for the suggestion, Rebecca. Anybody else?” Mr. Fish said. He glanced around the room.

Nancy heard the sound of someone giggling. She turned around. Harry was in the row behind her, cracking up.

Pell elbowed her brother. “Shhhhhh.”

Harry burst out laughing.

“Would you like to tell the rest of us what’s so funny?” Mr. Fish asked Harry.

Harry stopped giggling and shook his head. “N-n-no, sir,” he stammered.

Mr. Fish frowned and turned to the other campers. “This is the third incident this week,” he said in a serious voice. “These pranks are going to have to stop. Or there will be serious consequences.”

“What does that mean, ‘serious consequences’?” George whispered to Nancy.

“I don’t know,” Nancy whispered back. “But it doesn’t sound good.”

“Check this out,” Nancy said to Bess and George.

The girls were hanging out at the pond with the other campers, Fiona, and Max. They were looking for tadpoles and frogs in the water.

Nancy reached into her shorts pocket. She pulled a short, light brown hair out of it very carefully.

Bess stared at it. “What are you doing with my hair?” she asked curiously.

“That’s not yours, silly. It’s way too short! Plus, it’s the wrong color,” George told her.

“I found it next to one of the ant farms that got knocked down,” Nancy explained. “I kept it because I thought it might be a clue.”

“You mean to the creepy camper?” Bess asked eagerly.

Nancy nodded. “Exactly.”

George glanced around. “Hmm. There are only a few people with that color hair. There’s Max, Harry, and those two girls from River Heights Elementary—”

“I think their names are Savannah and Kimberly,” Bess said. “They’re in fifth grade. Savannah wears eye shadow!”

“Purple eye shadow,” George added.
