Super detective Nancy Drew is back again in this seasonal "whodunit tale" of a missing turkey. It is a week before Thanksgiving and Mrs. Reynolds' class welcomes a new student, Riley MacArthur. When Riley brings her turkey, Martin, for show-and-tell, he mysteriously disappears. Nancy and her friends, George and Bess, team up with Riley to crack the case. Although some false leads throw the girls off the trail, the girls follow the clues and in true detective style finally solve mystery, but not before having a few great adventures and chocolate sundaes along the way. This is a perfect example of what makes Nancy Drew a classic character. "The Nancy Drew Notebooks" #56. 2003, Aladdin Paperbacks/Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division, Ages 6 to 9.
