The Secret of the Mansion by Julie Campbell

4.0

Trixie Belden was always my mom's favorite sleuth--every time Nancy Drew is mentioned she chimes in to say she always liked Trixie better. So, naturally, I had to give her a shot, and I understand the sentiment. Trixie is much less well-behaved than Nancy. She rides horses, gets injured every five seconds, and even wears dungarees. That said--she didn't so much solve a mystery as get in a bunch of scrapes. But that's familiar to me with all of the L.M. Montgomery and classic children's books I've been reading lately. So I like Trixie, and I'll keep reading her and Nancy in tandem until I decide I like one much more than the other.
