The Red Trailer Mystery by Julie Campbell

3.0

Fun fact: I seem to have started the Trixie Belden series with book 3, as a kid -- so books 1 and 2 were totally new to me. I enjoyed them, but ... boy howdy, could Julie Campbell have made a bigger deal of the fact that Mrs. Smith was fat? It seemed that every time the character spoke, she referred to her size; Trixie described her as fat but "with such a pretty face"; she was constantly eating and cooking. She was a sweet lady, so at least there's that -- but it was overall a very stereotypical "jolly fat lady" portrayal and I found it problematic.
