Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew are taking it on the runway. In “The Fashion Disaster” by Carolyn Keene the girls get to be part of a fashion show. River Heights is having the first ever fashion show for dogs to raise money for the Rollover Rescue animal shelter. All the dogs in the show will be dressed in the latest fashions by a local dog clothing artist and to top it all off, the star of the show is none other than the famous doggy-diva Lola. Lola is a very pampered poodle and when her gourmet treats end up missing she refuses to walk down the runway.

Looks like Nancy, Bess and George on the case again. It doesn’t take them long to start jotting down suspects in this case. With every superstar, there are people out there who would rather see a falling star. But who would want to see Lola, an innocent dog that everyone seems to love and dote over, fail and become a laughing stalk? Nancy thinks she may know who. The girls put their heads together and their suspect list contains a doggy clothing fashion designer, Lola’s personal assistant or could it possibly be someone from the Rollover Rescue animal shelter?

Each suspect does seem to have something to dislike about the doggy-diva. The clothing designer was quite upset that Lola was not going to be wearing any of her designs in the fashion show. She spent most of the time saying mean things about Lola to the mayor and thought it was hilarious when she wouldn’t walk down the runway. Before the fashion show, Lola’s personal assistant quit because she was tired of Lola’s owner and the way she was being treated. She only wanted to be the assistant because she couldn’t have a dog of her own due to her brother being allergic.

The last suspect is someone from the Rollover Rescue animal shelter. Lola’s owner boasts about how rescue dogs are disgusting and that she doesn’t want them anywhere near her beloved Lola who just happens to be a very expensive French Poodle from France. The girls have no choice but to sneak into Lola’s trailer to look for more clues. But how are they going to do that without getting caught and what are they going to do if they do get caught in Lola’s trailer? Hopefully the girls can come up with a plan that will help them solve this mystery.
