nday's review against another edition

The third book in the Trixie Belden series. You get to know Trixie’s brothers in this one, and it adds an extra element to the different relationships between the characters. The boys can be a bit condescending at times, and I can’t blame Trixie too much for wanting to bop them in the nose.
This reminded me of the bit more classic set up of the first book, with the girls finding clues and uncovering a mystery. It was fun trying to work out who was up to what with the new employees, and it was a good interesting storyline.

So far, it's pretty good. **Spoiler Alert!** Jim comes back! I sorta read ahead... And I don't have the second book, so, yeah. I like the Trixie Beldon books because they're larger and long, so the book has like, more pages, and that means more story!!

This may be the first novel I've ever read that was constructed entirely (and I do mean entirely) out of slang and baby-talk. This is not a see-crud, I guess, to those of you who are fans of this series. I can already hear you saying, "Natch. And isn't it just yummy-yum-yum?"
To a certain degree, I guess it is. There's a secret-club feel to this series, a belonging and an inclusion that I imagine would appeal greatly to odd little kids. The mystery wasn't very mysterious, but it was fun to meet the brothers of Trixie. And I admit to snorting with adolescent-style laughter every time the boys called the girls "Moll Dicks, Inc." because yes, I am twelve years old. The plotting is solid, if transparent. The characters are very likable, though I can't really tell the boys apart yet.
I don't like the illustrations, I think they make Trixie and Honey look eight years old.
