They're all going to have to keep their eyes open now.

But Nick's grand plans start to crumble when Ace gets a paper route and Penny decides to share it with him. Now they're never around. Nick himself is working at his Uncle Spiro's frozen custard shop, but at least he gets free all-you-can-eat frozen custard. When Uncle Spiro opens a custard stand at the zoo, Nick volunteers to help--if that polar bear escapes again, he'll have a front row seat

Only their competitor, Happy Harold, opens a stand of his own. Now Nick is scrambling to keep their customers, especially because Happy keeps playing dirty tricks.

With mysteries to solve and a whole zoo-full of monkey business, it looks like Nick's summer won't be so boring after all
