Bookroo's summary

Nancy Drew faces a dual mystery: a stolen Fabergé egg and a garden vandal wreaking havoc. As suspicion falls on Mr. Safer for the squash sabotage, Nancy must uncover the truth. Can she solve both cases and clear an innocent man's name? Dive into a world of intrigue and unexpected twists as Nancy navigates through clues and deception. Who is the real culprit behind these crimes, and what secrets will be revealed along the way?

From the publisher

Hi, I’m Nancy Drew, and I’ve got a case to crack. Actually make that two cases. First a gorgeous Fabergé egg has been stolen. Who would have the heart to snatch such a precious family heirloom from someone new to town? Some housewarming that is! And if this isn’t enough to keep me busy, someone’s running through gardens and stomping on all the zucchinis. Needless to say, it’s a big mess – in more ways than one. Especially for Mr. Safer, who is suspected of squishing the squash. I’m pretty sure Mr. Safer’s innocent. But who’s the real vegetable vandal?
