These are timeless classics your kids will love, and I can’t wait until Grace is old enough to read them. There are a ton more Trixie books, and you can learn more about them here. The Mystery of the Midnight Marauder (1980) It’s been many years since I’ve read the books, but it’s the first three that really stick out to me, along with a few select others. While I loved her, I never found myself nodding in agreement and feeling whatever the latest sense of injustice Trixie was going through. But Nancy was the perfect girl, the rich girl, the beautiful girl. Both series stand up today in terms of red herrings and whodunits. And I loved the budding relationship between her and orphan Jim.ĭon’t get me wrong – I loved Nancy, too, and she was definitely a big part of my original interest in mysteries. Trixie’s best friend, Honey, was rich and very much opposite her, but I loved the way they brought out the best in one another. Trixie and her tight knit group solved mysteries together, and their original series carried them throughout their high school years. I’ve read most of her books, and I admit to squeeing when I saw they’re available for Kindle. I loved her blunt personality, loved that she came from a working class family, and I loved her exploits with the Bob-Whites. Like a lot of mystery writers, I read both of these series growing up, but I definitely preferred one over the other.
