“Although rather short on mystery, this is my favorite of the Trixie Beldens (and, perhaps not so coincidentally, also my first Trixie Belden). It is full of the banter and wisecracks I’ve come to love from the five friends who have dubbed themselves the Bob-Whites of the Glen, and underlying it all is a very believable dose of sibling love.

When a November storm demolishes all the hard work the Bob-Whites have done on their clubhouse over the last few months, Brian hands over the fifty dollars necessary to make repairs—the same fifty dollars he had been saving to buy a used car from Mr. Lytell, the general store owner. Determined that Brian not lose his opportunity to buy the coveted jalopy, Trixie and Honey concoct a wildly convoluted and very secretive scheme to repay the money by working as gamekeepers for Mr. Wheeler.
But in between trying to convince her family that she’s suddenly become a lady (as a delightful cover story for her attempts to rescue Brian’s dream car) and fighting off a vengeful younger brother, Trixie once again lets her imagination run away with her, this time leading her down what she is sure is the trail of a poacher.
Although the mystery in this installment isn’t as strong as in later stories, this is still, in my mind, the consummate Trixie Belden book. Its emphasis is on family and everyday normal life (though with Trixie around, it’s hardly normal), rather than amateur sleuthing. Unfortunately, I think that is a balance missing in some of the later books.
