"All of the Trixie Belden books get five stars from me. I read and re-read and re-read them in elementary, middle, and high school. Oh how I wanted to be a Bob-White with Trixie, Jim, Honey, Matt, Brian, Di, and Dan! Trixie was so much more realistic than Nancy Drew, who I never liked. "

" Maybe the most annoying lead character ever "
— Werereadingandwriting, 2/10/2014" It's a great series, a long time since I read them, but a lot of fun and innocent mysteries. "
— Erin, 2/7/2014" I shared the reading of this book with my little girl. I used to love the Trixie Bleden mysteries when I was a child. "
— MommaLaura, 2/1/2014" I liked this one considerably less than the first three. Everyone was so annoyingly self-deprecating here, saying they were not bright or not pretty or not adequate or not good at math. Most of this was couched as politeness, but it still really got up my nose. I loathed Di, the whiny, needy, obnoxious little git. I need a break from the Bob-Whites. "
— melody, 1/28/2014" Oh, how I do love Trixie Belden :) "
— Sarah, 1/2/2014" This was an interesting book for children. It had an exciting ending. "
— Rachel, 12/2/2013" OK; I really liked it when I was 10. Found this at a used book sale and had to reread it. I remember thinking that 13-year-olds Trixie and Honey and their 15- and 16-year old brothers were so grown-up at the time. Perspective is everything. "
— Jeanne, 11/28/2013" good book to read by candlelight when the power goes out. "
— Jennifer, 11/3/2013" Book 4. Diana, or Di, is introduced. "
— Kim, 8/14/2013" You can pretty much read what I've written about any book in this series to get my opinion. They're all pretty much the same, better than the average series in the late 1960s but can't hold a candle to Nancy Drew. See #3 for my full review. "
— Lisa, 1/27/2013" I adored this series. Trixie was my hero. "

— Jennifer, 11/24/2012" I loved this whole series my Mom passed them all down to me. "
— Lia, 11/21/2012" read when I was eleven through 13 "
— Kolan, 10/14/2012" Oh, I absolutely loved this one! Very exciting! "
— Hannah, 5/9/2012" Book 4 and Diana Lynch joins the Bob Whites of the Glen. I never really liked Diana so this was my least favorite moment of the series. "
— Lisa, 4/23/2012" Excellent argument for not going back and reading the books you adored as a child. I read so many Trixie Belden books when I was a kid. Just ate them up. Now I'm reading them out loud with my daughter for fun and they kind of make me cringe. "
— Hannah, 6/28/2011" The sixth member of the club, Diana Lynch, joins in this book, which taught me about genetics (sort of) and shows the strong bond between Trixie and her "almost twin" Mart. "
— Bonnie, 5/3/2011" But-there are so many more! And she was my favorite as a child. I recently started driving up to Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow, partly in tribute to my childhood reading of her! There were a lot more in the series, as I recall. "
— Ellie, 4/19/2011" Pretty good, though the pic of trixie on the cover looks nothing like how the book describes her. But good storyline, though sometimes things go a little to perfectly for her. "
— Meadow, 4/1/2011" I began re-reading this series as an adult, one I loved so much in my pre-teen days. In The Mysterious Visitor, we meet Diana Lynch, who, unfortunately was my least favorite of the B.W.G. members. Nevertheless, still quintessential (and enjoyable) Trixie Belden. "
— Julie, 2/2/2011" Good again ... I always enjoy this one. "
— Joy, 1/27/2011" But-there are so many more! And she was my favorite as a child. I recently started driving up to Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow, partly in tribute to my childhood reading of her! There were a lot more in the series, as I recall. "
— Ellie, 1/2/2011" This is one of my favourite Trixie Beldons its full of mystery ad mayhem. It sucks you and keeps you there the whole story I am always disappointed when I get to the end of them. "
— Benna, 11/7/2010" I liked this series too. I'm surprised there aren't more of the Trixie Beldon books on Good Reads. "
— Debbie, 8/26/2010" 3 estrelas - grande leitura da minha pré-adolescência! "
