Awesome!” Jason cried. He flipped through the pages of the notebook. “Nancy’s notebook. Are we lucky or what?”

Nancy’s heart sank. Her notebook meant everything to her. She couldn’t lose it to anyone—especially the boys!

“Give it back!” Nancy shouted. “That notebook is private!”

“Is not!” Jason shouted back. “Our names are written all over this book. Under the word . . . ‘suspect.’”

“That’s because you’re always doing sneaky things!” Bess snapped. “Like taking the ladder away!”

“Put it back!” George demanded.

“No way!” David said. “You’re going to be up there forever!”

“That’s what you think!” George muttered. She reached out and grabbed a branch. Then she climbed out of the tree house and down the tree.

“Wow!” Nancy told Bess. “I forgot that George is the tree-climbing champ of River Heights.”

“You go, George!” Bess cheered.

George snatched the notebook out of Jason’s hand. Then she grabbed the ladder and put it right back where it belonged.

“What were you doing up there?” David demanded as Nancy and Bess climbed down.

“Looking for missing toys,” Nancy said. “And where did you get those three Windup Wallys you were playing with?”

The boys looked at each other. Then they smiled sneakily.

“Our lips are zipped!” David said.

The boys shut their mouths tightly. Then they ran their index fingers and thumbs across their lips.

“Zipper lips,” Nancy mumbled. “Now they’ll never talk.”

George leaned over and whispered, “Nancy? Where’s the stinky cheese?”

Nancy nodded over her shoulder at the pink backpack. What did George want with the stinky cheese now?

She watched as George pulled out the cheese, unwrapped it, and waved it under the boys’ noses.

“Yuck!” Mike shouted.

The boys squeezed their noses as they backed up against the oak tree.

“Get it away!” Jason groaned.

George shoved the cheese under Jason’s nose and said, “Not until you tell us where you got those Windup Wallys!”

Nancy giggled. Until she saw something pop out of David’s shirt pocket. It was his pet rat, Skeevy. The little rat wiggled his nose as he sniffed at the cheese.

“Skeeeeeevy!” Bess shrieked as she raced out of the yard. The boys laughed as Nancy and George ran after her.

“We got the Windup Wallys at Regal Burger,” Jason called after them. “Put that in your notebook, Detective Drew!”
