Synopsis

Sydney, Bess and George’s cousin and my good friend, is finally getting married to her fiancé, Vic! We’re so happy for her, and we’re sure it’s going to be a beautiful wedding—after all, she’s a famous model and he’s a reality TV stud. Plus, we’re all bridesmaids! Imagine seeing George in a dress….

But that’s where the fun and games stop. As Sydney prepares for her wedding, mysterious things start happening to her and Vic. Vic is almost poisoned, and Sydney’s bridal shower is sabotaged—and there are too many suspects to count. But why would anyone want to ruin Sydney’s special day?

These can’t be coincidences. I’m sure there is something sinister afoot, and I’m determined to find it out and help my friend.

Nancy, George, and Bess are headed to beautiful Barnacle Beach for a pirate-themed birthday party. They’ve planned every detail, from nautical party games to a real chest of buried treasure. This is going to be the most fun party ever!

Until none of the guests show up. Perhaps they’ve been scared off by mythical beach monster Lonny the Lake Lizard. But that’s just silly—monsters aren’t real, right?

And now the treasure is gone! This looks like another case for the Clue Crew—time to find the missing treasure, and the missing friends, too!
