The Secret of the Mansion Audiobook

" Tassy and I read this together. Oh what wholesome clean writing they did back in the fifties. :) I was disappointed that there wasn't more of a mystery, but it wasn't too bad. "

" The first book of a series that I think had been overlooked. While I will admit that the language is a bit dated and the gender roles of some of the adult women are a bit rigid, Trixie, the character to which the reader would relate, clearly sees those boundaries as malleable and optional. I think for a more mature young girl who is a bit young for Nancy Drew, Trixie is a good starter series. She's a tomboy from a middle class family that hangs out with a socio-econmically mixed crowd who has faults and immature behaviors many young girls can see in themselves that she handles well. There is also a running theme of social responsibility and conciousness that I think is sorely lacking in much of youth literature presently. Certainly not literature for the ages, but it's still a lovely series. "

" I loved these books as a kid. So much better than silly, spoiled, prissy Nancy Drew. Trixie Belden was way cooler. "

" A very interesting book! It is perfect for people interested in mysteries. I like how Honey get's rid of her cowardness and turns into a brave girl. Really very interesting!!!! "

" see above review "

" Happy memories of reading this book as a child. "

" Not bad. Not sure whether I like it as much as Nancy Drew, and some of the storyline seemed a little cheesy. Seriously, the 15-year-old was just going to go off on his own and hope no one caught him? I'm assuming this was in a different time period.... But anyway, it was interesting. "

" I was once a Trixie Beldon addict. Most definitely my favorite series when I was little. "

" This was a series I read as a tweener when I wasn't reading Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys. I liked Trixie and her friends and family. "

" Loved them as a kid! Glad they're back! "

" This represents all of the 23 Trixie Beldon books I read as a young girl. I was a Trixie Beldon fan from the start. I loved her books and fell in love with the characters. Brings back happy memories. "

" This is the series that made me a reader, thanks to my Mom who started reading these to me as a young child. "

" I think the Trixie Belden books were even a little better than Nancy Drew! "

" Read this series when I was younger-- one of my first introductions to a strong female protagonist. "

" The first of everything is always great......this one sure is!!!! "

" Trixie Beldon was my favorite detective when I was a kid, and I read the whole series more than once ... this first book and the second that followed were the two best, and I still enjoyed them very much as I read them yesterday. Not completely believable, but lots of fun. "

" Loved these books as a kid, and my mom just gave them back to me. "

" I am so glad this is part of a series! I can't wait to read the next one!! "

" I am not sure what type of rating to give this. For the intended age group, I think it is a lovely book. For me, it was ok. It was however more of an adventure story than a mystery. "

" The books are soooo cool !!!!!! I love the series, and I just loved this book!! I want anyone to read it!! "

" Rereading some of those old favorites from when I was a kid. They're just as much fun now as they were then. "

" I had read books before these however, Trixie Belden is what started me on the road to being an avid reader & book lover. I read every single one of these as a child. "

" Cute juvenile fiction mystery! "

" Books of my youth.......ahhhhhh! "

" It is funny listening to books I loved reading as a girl. This book is more than 60 years old and I was excitd to see it thrilling Samantha like it did me when I was her age. I enjoyed listening to it - it made it almost like reading it for the first time again. "

" After I had read most of the Nancy Drew series (as a child), I discovered Trixie. She rocked. I can't wait to reread this childhood favorite. Done! Memories galore with this one. I now remember how refreshing it was to go from Nancy Drew (goody goody like me) to Trixie (attitude galore!). Cute book. "

" Ahhh...Trixie Belden! The anti-Nancy Drew! Nancy was boringly perfect: Trixie did bad in math, and had freckles and a few extra pounds. I looooved Trixie Belden books. Read one and you'll never go back to Nancy. "

" i love trixie belden books! they're soooo exciting! "
