Synopsis

Trixie Belden first appeared more than 50 years ago in The Secret of the Mansion, which was followed by 38 more adventures as generations of readers grew up with teenage detective Trixie and her mystery-solving friends. Now, Trixie is back with a fresh look and ready to charm a new band of sleuths!

Trixie Belden is bracing for one boring summer. Her lucky older brothers are away at camp, so she is stuck babysitting. But when a new girl, Honey, moves in down the road, Trixie finally has the chance to make a best friend--and Honey isn't the only fresh face in town.

The girls spy someone inside a nearby house, which is curious because Trixie knows her grumpy old neighbor, Mr. Frayne, is sick at the hospital. There's only one reason why someone would go poking around Mr. Frayne's run-down manor. They must be looking for the fortune that is said to be hidden on the property. But that's only a rumor...right?

Trixie wished for an adventure, and she might just get her most exciting summer yet!

Noch ein Buch aus meiner Kindheit. An Trixie Belden habe ich tatsächlich gar nicht mehr so viele Erinnerungen; Hanni und Nanni zum Beispiel sind mir mehr im Gedächtnis geblieben. Mit dem nochmaligen Lesen kamen aber ein paar Erinnerungen zurück, und es hat mir viel Spaß gemacht. Ich habe noch ein pa......more

Revisiting this series from my childhood was such a great decision. So many GR friends from around the globe have chimed in and shared their love for Trixie Belden. Is it dated? Sure -- time keeps marching on and the world is constantly changing. What does not change are the elements of a good myste......more

Goodreads review by Bethany on April 04, 2012

A formulaic series, but what a formula!!! I read probably 95% of the Trixie Belden series growing up and can't wait for Amanda to get into them. Trixie is a girl detective, much like Nancy Drew, only (I think) much better (and I did like Nancy). To avoid diluting my goodreads list, I'll spare rating t......more

Meet Trixie, Honey, and Jim as the trio form a friendship and hunt for the treasure that is supposed to be in Jim's great uncle's old house. This is a very favorite series from childhood on, and I just love meeting the characters again for the first time. They aren't quite themselves yet, and can be......more
