"I ate UP Trixie Belden when I was a little girl! (But I never got into Nancy Drew... Seems like Trixie was younger and more of a tomboy, so I must've identified with her more.) I lost all my books somewhere along the way, but I bought the five vintage books I own now at an antique sale in the mall. "

— Meen, 8/20/2013" This was the very first Trixie Belden book I read as a pre-teen or tween as they are called now. I picked up a copy at a yard sale for about 25 cents back in the '80s. I have read every single one of them more than once as a kid, and recently re-read them. Great fun read for younger girls. "
