Trixie Belden first appeared more than 50 years ago in The Secret of the Mansion, which was followed by 38 more adventures as generations of readers grew up with teenage detective Trixie and her mystery-solving friends. Now, Trixie is back with a fresh look and ready to charm a new band of sleuths!

Trixie Belden is bracing for one boring summer. Her lucky older brothers are away at camp, so she is stuck babysitting. But when a new girl, Honey, moves in down the road, Trixie finally has the chance to make a best friend--and Honey isn't the only fresh face in town.

The girls spy someone inside a nearby house, which is curious because Trixie knows her grumpy old neighbor, Mr. Frayne, is sick at the hospital. There's only one reason why someone would go poking around Mr. Frayne's run-down manor. They must be looking for the fortune that is said to be hidden on the property. But that's only a rumor...right?

Trixie wished for an adventure, and she might just get her most exciting summer yet!

Book Review

Trixie Belden: The Secret of the Mansion
by Julie Campbell

by Bec Kavanagh, Nov 2025

Trixie Belden is the OG – she’s smart, overflowing with personality, and always poking her nose into trouble. When her older brothers go away to camp, Trixie is sure that she’s in for a long and dreary summer. But a new best friend and the mystery of a dying man’s fortune promise to perk things right up. Trixie Belden: The Secret of the Mansion is the first in the re-release of the series by Julie Campbell.

Unchanged since their first printing, this classic series is right on time for the younger fans of the cosy-crime wave. There’s something wholesome about Trixie – the sprawling farm where she lives, her unencumbered friendship with her two brothers, Brian and Mark, and the occasional intrusion from her overly curious younger brother, Bobby. But in addition to these nostalgic values, there’s a feistiness to Trixie that captured me as a young reader and I know will still capture young readers today. Trixie Belden is a troublesome tomboy with a huge heart, and these clever mysteries will have readers begging for more. For ages 8+.
