Books - Trixie Belden Series by Julie Cambell, Kathryn Kenny

Rate the book: 8

For those who like Nancy Drew this is a great series of 39 books that are focused on the main girl Trixie, and the mysteries she gets herself into with her brothers Mart and Brian, best friends Honey and Di, romantic interest (and Honey's adopted brother) Jim, and Dan Mangan. This group of teens from 13-16 y/o form a club together. Whilst it is similar to Nancy Drew, this is a more old fashioned setting. Trixie is also a tomboy compared to Nancy being a tall, beautiful, confident blonde. The series starts off with the first book being "The Secret of the Mansion" and then "The Red Trailer Mystery" which both set up the series. Great innocent reads.
