The Secret of the Mansion by Julie Campbell
2.0
Trixie is that 13 year old teenager who finds every single thing suspicious or it's just written in a way that even the compliments sounded like "there's something crazy going on with the other person".
And because of that reason alone, each chapter had some ridiculous twist. This book literally went from buying a horse and learning how to ride it To
1) Suspecting there's ghost next door
2) Finding out there's not a ghost
3) getting attacked by a mad dog who has rabies
4) Her little brother getting Bitten by a poisonous snake
5) rescuing her brother
6) boat crash
7) Bike crash
8) there might be secret treasure somewhere
9) My new rich friend doesn't have a perfect family like me. So i am gonna mention it every single time...
10) We need to hide Jim from everyone
11) Jim is so nice, but why is he not talking to me
12) We need to find jim
13) we also need to find treasure
So basically the old man living in the nearby mansion is dying because of pneumonia and they want to find out the hidden treasure before he dies. There's a kid living in his house who happens to be this old man's nephew. After his uncle dies all the money and the mansion will automatically transfer to the kid. But his Step- dad is after the money.
Now, there will be a question like; Why did you even read a children's book? There's no way you are gonna find a great mystery! You aren't in the targeted demographic for this.
Well thats true! But for a book that has characters/plot centred around getting money without even working for it shouldn't even be for kids.
