Bookroo's summary

Nancy and the Clue Crew are thrilled to visit the TV studio of their favorite Halloween special. But eerie noises and lurking shadows suggest something supernatural. Is it just Halloween jitters, or is the studio truly haunted? As the mystery deepens, the girls must uncover the truth before the night is over. Can they solve the spooky puzzle, or will the ghosts of the studio remain a mystery?

From the publisher

Boo! The Clue Crew is in for a fright! It’s Halloween in River Heights! The girls can’t wait to go trick-or- treating and are busy getting their costumes ready. They also can’t wait for the Halloween special of their favorite TV show. They even get the chance to visit the TV studio while the show is being taped! But soon after they arrive, Nancy is spooked. With all the scary noises the Clue Crew keeps hearing and the creepy shadows that seem to be lurking, it seems like the studio is haunted! Is it just Halloween jitters…or are there really such things as ghosts?
