Bookroo's summary

Nancy and her friends are thrilled to attend the Kids Apple Festival, eager for apple-picking, hayrides, and a cornstalk maze. But excitement turns to mystery when the prized River Heights Reds apples disappear. With the festival's success hanging in the balance, Nancy must unravel the mystery and find the culprit. Will she uncover the truth before the festival faces an apple emergency?

From the publisher

Vanishing Fruit? No Way! Nancy and her friends are off on an apple-picking adventure! They are headed to the Kids Apple Festival, where they will pick apples, go on a hayride, and work their way through a cornstalk maze. Bess is excited about the applesauce-eating contest – after all, apples are her favorite food! And the winner gets a whole basket of River Heights Reds – a brand new type of apple! But when the basket – and all the apples in it – vanishes, Nancy knows she has to get to the core of this mystery. Can she figure out who the bad apple is, or is this festival on the verge of an apple emergency?
