Summary: Just Like I Remembered!
Review: Very Highly Recommended!!! Move over Nancy Drew...the Bob-Whites are back in town!

I loved these books when I was a pre-teen...I had an entire set of the cameo paperbacks that I read over and over again. When I was in high school, my family moved and they were lost. I think I never got over that! Then, as a wonderful surprise, my family collected them from all over one year and gave them to me as a Christmas present.

The Trixie Belden mysteries always appealed to me more than Nancy Drew, and I think it was because the main characters (The Bob-Whites of the Glenn) were such lovable, individuals - each with a quirk of their own. Reading them as a 30-something, I can still enjoy them as I did years ago. There is no bad language (Gleeps!), and no sex...I can't even seem to remember if there was a single boy/girl kiss in the entire series. There are very minor boy/girl subplots, but it is more like friendly interest that isn't even dwelt on. The BWG's are great friends, always find an interesting mystery to solve and will be around for a very long time (this is about the 4th reprinting of the series)
