It's cousin Juliana's wedding, and there's this weird invalid lady, Miss Ryks, hanging around that no one knows. No one can get a straight answer out of her, either, as to who she's related to. Meanwhile, Dan has disappeared, Trixie's cousin Hallie is visiting (lots of cousins, all of a sudden) and Bobby is acting very odd. Even worse, food is disappearing at an alarming rate out of Mrs. Belden's larder. I always wondered who the redhead was on the cover. Is it Jim? Regan? Mr. Wheeler? Too many redheaded men running around Sleepyside to know for sure :) ( ) A childhood favorite re-visited. Is the story as good as I remember? – Yes What ages would I recommend it too? – Ten and up. Length? – Most of a day’s read. Characters? – Memorable, several characters. Setting? – Real world, pre - computer and pre - cell phone. Written approximately? – 1977. Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Ready to read more. Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? Yes. A slight mention of the time frame of the story - as the teens are given far more freedom to come and go as they please than would be safe today. Also, the absence of computers, cell phones. Short storyline: Trixie's cousin Hallie visits during preparations for Julianna's wedding. Trixie spends a lot of time on understanding her problems with her cousin, whom she is very much like , and they work together (and against each other at times) to solve Dan's disappearance, a rash of burglaries, and who the unknown person is who invites themselves to Julianna's wedding. Notes for the reader: A great mystery! No violence (only referred to from the past), no murder. I loved this series when I was growing up; I thought Trixie was a lot more fun than Nancy Drew, and these were some of my all-time favorite books. I read them as an adult, though, a few years ago, and found that they haven't, IMO, stood the test of time well. They are obviously dated, and there are some messages that I don't think are appropriate anymore (mostly the way Trixie is treated differently - and often poorly - because she's a girl). ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
