Setting:
The Little Iguana Island is part of the Family Islands of the Bahamas. Only two miles from Freeport on the Main Island, Little Iguana has a boat dock, a boat house, the Blue Shell Inn and miles and miles of deserted beaches. Tourists love the Blue Shell because it is a total escape from civilization with no phones or TV’s and no other people to disturb your quiet vacationing.


Set Up:
It has been five years since these six girls were all friends in middle school. Before they all move on to collage or out of state Nancy Drew decided to plan a little get together reunion. Friday at noon the friends met at a small boat dock in Freeport where Mrs. Barnum, the owner and operator of the Blue Shell Inn, came to pick them up in a small pontoon boat to ferry them for their quiet get away weekend on Little Iguana Island.



The Mystery:
After arriving at the Blue Shell Inn and
getting settled in their rooms, the six friends head for the snowy white beaches of sugar sand that the Little Iguana island has to offer. When they all return to the Blue Shell Inn for dinner at 6:00pm shocking news is waiting for them.
