I STILL LOVE TRIXIE AND THE BOB-WHITE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trixie Belden Starter Set (Paperback)
The Trixie Belden series is terrific. These were my favourite books as a child, I'm now 31. I come from a family of 12 children and my younger sister and I used to be so proud of ourselves if we could read a book in 1 day (which was pretty difficult when we had so many chores to do). We found the books so wonderful, we wanted so much to do all the wonderful things Trixie and her friends did. I started collecting the series when I was 11, I had asked my parents for Nancy Drew books for Christmas and I got Trixie Belden books instead, I quickly got over my initial disappointment and have been a fan ever since. Even though I haven't had much luck convincing my teenage daughter to read the series, I still have the every single book. Last year I read them all again as I hadn't read any in more than 10 years, after all these years and having read them at least 5 times each they still continue to thrill me!

Trixie Belden to be Republished June 2003,

This review is from: Trixie Belden Starter Set (Paperback)
Per Random House, the Trixie Belden series of books will be republished in June 2003 beginning with the first four of the series. This is a fantastic mystery series for younger readers (and all of us who grew up with Trix, Honey, and the rest of the BWGs). The mysteries are just challenging enough to be interesting, and the characters are both savvy and kind. With seven major players in the stories, every kid can likely find a character to relate to.

Trixie is my nickname because I loved these books so much!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trixie Belden Starter Set (Paperback)
Trixie Belden, her brothers, the beautiful Honey Wheeler, and the rest of the Bobwhites were my heroes as a teenager. I read the set at least a dozen times each. Sadly, my mother loaned them to a friend who was ill, and I never got them back! Although I was a very social teenager, I sometimes felt more able to identify with the characters in these books then my own friends! What a shame that kids nowadays consider this type of reading corny and old-fashioned. I guess that's how I got my nickname-my friends thought I was funny for reading these books! The fact is, however, the stories are suspenseful and the characters have a down-to-earth quality that is much more appealing than the street-wise, sarcastic, and disrespectful teenage role models that are so popular at the turn of the century. If I could get my hands on a set of Trixie Belden books, I would feel like I had found a long-lost friend!
