☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Only Mysteries in the Building!", Veronica lands a surprise opportunity to appear on a national TV show called "One Great Date," where she’s paired with a complete stranger for a blind date—only to find the evening takes a turn when the mysterious events at the mall begin to unfold. Written by Mike Pellowski and illustrated by Tim Kennedy, with inks by Pat Kennedy, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest tale blends high school charm with a touch of intrigue. The cover, by Dan Parent, captures the moment just before the mystery begins.
Veronica tags along on Betty’s ornithology hike, half-convincing herself it’s about the birds—but she’s not fooled by Betty’s innocent act. As they trek through the woods, Veronica keeps one eye on the trail and the other on Betty’s hidden agenda.
In "Litter Perfect," Archie and Betty are handed the delicate job of delivering exam papers to the teachers' lounge—only to have their mission derailed by Reggie’s mischievous wind gust prank, scattering the papers across the school with chaotic flair. The story captures the classic high school chaos with a lighthearted, fast-paced charm.
Veronica and Betty go all out trying to channel their inner supermodel by balancing books on their heads, but their attempts are anything but graceful—until Jughead, ever the unexpected guide, steps in with a surprisingly simple trick that just might change their approach.
When Veronica lodges at the Cooper house during her parents’ absence, a sudden case of the flu turns her into an unexpected patient—and Betty into her reluctant caretaker. With a pager in hand, Veronica doesn’t hesitate to summon Betty at the drop of a symptom, turning a quiet afternoon into a whirlwind of tea deliveries and whispered medical advice.
Archie tries to surprise Betty with a big teddy bear as a thank-you for helping him with homework, but delivering it turns into a surprisingly perilous mission—what starts as a sweet gesture quickly becomes a test of nerve, balance, and just how far he’s willing to go for a smile.
When Veronica develops a sudden pimple, Betty steps in with a headband and soothing music, trying to ease her friend’s stress — but the real test is whether the fix will hold up under the pressure of a school day.
Veronica, reeling from criticism over a shopping spree, finds herself drawn to a circle of elite peers who push her toward a prank on Betty—testing the limits of loyalty and the cost of fitting in.
In "Patriotic Spirit," Veronica finds herself in Litchfield, Connecticut, where she encounters the spirited ghost of a Revolutionary War soldier, Josh Allen, who shares the tales of Nathan Hale and Ethan Allen with a mix of history and humor. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed artist, the story blends schoolgirl charm with a lighthearted dive into American history.
In "She's a Card," Jo and her friends find themselves sidelined as the boys obsess over baseball cards, but Betty sees a smarter move—why not play along? With a mix of wit and strategy, she steps into their world, turning the game on its head.
In a fun twist at the mall, Veronica finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight when she’s chosen to be part of the new reality show *One Great Date*, where strangers are paired for a blind date and later interviewed about the experience. The setup is simple but nerve-wracking—will she connect with her mystery date, or end up with a story she’ll never forget?
