I loved this book and couldn't put it down. It takes place at a amusement park where Bess gets a winning wrapper! When she goes to claim her prize she finds out that someone else has already won the million dollars! Well of course Nancy thinks that this is another one of the cases that she just has to solve! Nancy is on the case! This story is about a compelling mystery that involves: The Science Sleuths, who are a group of kids on a field trip at the park, Joyce Palmer, who is the attendent at to Chocolate Factory, Mr. Castle, who is the president at the factory, Mr. Tumey, who is the boss at the factory, Bess Marvin, one of Nancy's mystery solving companions, George, the other companion, Nancy Drew, the detective who is on the case, Diana Nugget, the other contest winner, Phil Nugget, Diana's husband, and finally Andrea Cassella, who is the Science Sleuths chaperon. This story takes place in the park in modern times. ... Find out what happens to Joyce when you read Nancy Drew and The Chocolate Covered Contest. I would recomend this book because it a good hard mystery and has a lot of curves and bumps, just like the roller coaster that Nancy gets stuck on!
