TRIXIE BELDEN

I've read them all - I own them all. Trixie Belden has been one of my favorites since I was very young.

If It Weren't For That Prophecy...

The Bob-Whites are in New York City for a few days to show their friends Ned Schulz and Bob and Barbara Hubbell around. While waiting for their flight to come in from Iowa, Trixie notices a strange Mexican woman who can't find her flight. After helping, the woman gives Trixie a purse with a fortune inside. A couple hours later, Trixie spies an idol so ugly it's cute she just has to buy. But almost immediately, some thugs are following the teens around. Are they after the idol? Why? Can Trixie use the prophecy to solve the case before more danger strikes? This is a fun book in the series. Not only are all seven Bob-Whites along for the adventure but we get to spend more time with friends we've made earlier in the series, a rare treat. The tour of New York City is fun and the plot lively and entertaining enough to keep you glued to the book. My problem with it is the prophecy. I don't believe in fortune telling and so have a very hard time accepting that part of the plot. Most fans of the Trixie books like the prophecy, which makes me the exception to the rule. Other then that, it's a great case that will entertain Trixie's many fans.

The Best of the Series

This is the best book of the Trixie Belden books. My copy is worn out from rereading it so many times. I even have that mysterious prophecy memorized. I wish they would put these books back in print.

The best

I have read this book several times and i find this book the best of the whole series. It is about all the bwg except dan and there friends from iowa (yow remeber the book about Happy Valley)taking a trip to New york and of course being trixie she finds a mystery deling with a prophecy and old women handed her. It is really a great book you feel for trixie as she goes through the ups and downs of the prophecy but Trixie and Honey alway triumph in the end...It is a must read....y

First-rate

This mystery has Trixie and the BWG's in New York with their friends from Iowa. It begins with a mysterious prophecy from a woman Trixie befriends and follows the gang through New York City's highs and lows. This is one of the best of the early series...a must read for a real fan! I'm twenty-four, a graduate student and married, but I still love to go back to these for a little fun.
