Trixie Belden and the Mysterious Code - Kathryn Kenny
No apparent ISBN in this book.
Pub: Whitman, 1961 (Hardcover)
Found in the box of books.
The principal of their school tells the gang that their club may have to disband unless they can prove their worth, otherwise they will be expelled if they continue to work as a "club". So they decide to put on an antique show to raise funds for UNICEF. Some items get stolen and they find some crazy stuff in the Wheeler's attic. MYSTERY ABOUNDS! Jeeps!
Also there is some weird subplot going on between Trixie and Jim, where Jim notices Trixie is actually a girl and not just a shorter version of his other mates.
Time to read: 1 evening
Rate: ****- (extra star for supplying kids with a cute stick-figure alphabet... I bet this went off really well in the 60's with young girls scribbling codes all over the damn place)
