Nancy, visiting her aunt in New York City with friends, finds herself in a sticky situation at Haunted Harriet’s. When a birthday cake explodes with slime and fake critters, all eyes turn to her. Can Nancy clear her name and uncover the real prankster before the weekend is ruined? The stakes are high as she navigates a web of mischief and mystery in the heart of the city.
