(4) 4-6 Trixie Belden series. Illustrated by Mary Stevens. Trixie fans will rejoice over this reissue of the fifth title in the long-out-of-print series, which uses the original text and line drawings that place the book's action firmly in the late forties and early fifties. The plot is formulaic, but impulsive, good-hearted Trixie has an irresistible appeal.

Trixie fans will rejoice over these reissues of the first four titles in the long-out-of-print series, which use the original text and line drawings that place the books' action firmly in the late forties and early fifties. The plots are formulaic and the writing is workmanlike at best, but the books are endearingly goofy, and impulsive, good-hearted thirteen-year-old Trixie has an irresistible appeal.
