The mystery is always solved, but the main relationships are allowed to develop with the series. They have a logic and plausibility that satisfies. The mysteries that Trixie and her friends get caught up in are full of action, drama and human relationships. She has chores to do, struggles with her homework and argues with her brothers. She gets carried away with her own imaginings.
She says the wrong things sometimes, she can be impulsive and clumsy. It’s easy to see why I fell so hard in love with this series. I’ve been waiting all this time to re-gift my box of Trixie Belden’s to my niece.īut before I could pass on this box of wonderful reading memories to my niece, I felt that I needed to reread the first few to see if they had stood they test of time. They also commissioned the next series of the books that completed the series at #34…or so I thought…until a few years later I discovered they had published another 5 books.īy then, I was ‘too old’ to read Trixie, but I had to buy the books for my collection. The Secret of the Mansion was first published in 1948, but in 1977 Western Publishing Golden Press re-released the first 16 books – at a mere 95c a piece. In my tenth year, my aunt gave me two books – Trixie Belden #1 and Trixie Belden #3 (sadly #2 was not available at the time of her initial gift purchase, although I quickly rectified that with the judicious spending of my pocket money) – however these two books began a reading obsession that lasted for the next 6 years. I’ve been waiting for this moment for quite some time.
