  Secret of the Spa
  
  
  When I scored tickets to the grand opening of a new spa in town, I knew I had
  to take Bess. George came along too, but she’s been acting so weird. I knew
  this wouldn’t be her idea of a total blast, but she’s just been no fun at all.
  It’s unlike her to be such a grouch!
  
  
  But then, this new spa isn’t turning out to be much fun either. Deirdre’s
  here, for starters. Plus someone’s tampering with the food, and trying to take
  the “luxury” out of this otherwise luxurious place. Something stinks in this
  spa, and if I can’t sniff it out, my name’s not Nancy. . . .
