chez_jaeOn Thursday, I finished reading Trixie Belden and the Happy Valley Mystery by Kathryn Kenny. It's the ninth installment of the vintage "Trixie Belden" mysteries that I grew up reading.
In this story, Trixie and the rest of the Bob-Whites travel to Iowa to visit her uncle's farm. Uncle Andrew has been having trouble with someone stealing his sheep, and Trixie vows to solve the mystery for him. She and her brothers and friends meet some of the local teens and make new friends. They all help out on the farm, and in the meantime, Trixie searches for clues and digs up information. When she makes a couple of wrong assumptions, Trixie is teased for it, but that only makes her more determined to succeed.
In addition to the plot, the author introduces a budding romance between Trixie and Jim.
All in all, a fun, light read.
★★★★
