A review by jbojkov
The Secret of the Mansion by Julie Campbell

5.0

This was a re-read for me. I loved Trixie Belden as a kid and decided to read the first one again since I still have my original copies. I was dressing up as Trixie for work- we all dressed up as favorite book characters. After reading it as an adult, I understand why I loved it so much. Trixie is spunky and a real go-getter, but also impulsive and hasty at times. A strong female character which for me was a common theme in books loved as a child. Of course, I see now how melodramatic this series is as well as didactic, but you know what? I still love it. Maybe I'll keep reading the series through this summer.
