I needed something quick and light to cleanse my reading palate, so on Thursday I read The Mystery on Cobbett's Island, which is the 13th book in the Trixie Belden mystery series. This was vintage Trixie at her best!

Shortly after school lets out for the summer, Trixie and her fellow BWGs are invited to spend ten days on Cobbett's Island with Honey's family. While trying to find something in the library to read, Trixie discovers an old letter that mentions a chart and a treasure of $1,000.00. Of course, she can't leave it alone, and she recruits her friends and brothers to help her work out the mystery.

The teens meet a boy from the neighboring estate, and they let him in on the secret. Peter turns out to be a great help, and they all have fun chasing down clues.

These books are fun, simple and refreshing, and they make me nostalgic for my own tweens and teens!

Four hearts:

I love Trixie Belden :) I still own all my favs (and I read all 35 of them that were written when I was a kid).

My sister and I loved Trixie, too. I don't think I ever read all of the books, however. But, I'm working on it now!
