“Do you think the two crimes could be a coincidence, Daddy?” Nancy asked. “Well, there are such things as coincidences, Nancy, and the two might not be related after all,” said Mr. Drew. “But don’t give up on finding the culprits. Just follow the evidence and remember that things aren’t always as they appear.” “Don’t worry, Daddy,” Nancy said. “The Clue Crew is still on the case! See you later.” She grabbed her jacket and headed out the door. When Nancy got to the school, some of the other kids who had parts in the pageant were gathered in little groups on the playground. They were whispering to one another about the possible cancellation. “Don’t worry,” Nancy reassured the kids as she passed each group. “The Clue Crew is trying to solve the mystery.” Nancy finally found George and Bess by the swings. They were talking with Katherine Madison, Suzie Park, and Natalie Coleman. “George and I found the perfect feathers, too,” Bess was saying when Nancy joined them.
