Trixie Belden and the Mystery Off Glen Road - Julie Campbell
There is no apparent ISBN on the book.
Pub: Western Publishing Company (Whitman), 1970 (Hardcover)
Another book box find.
Featuring more nifty sayings like "Gleeps!" (which is interesting that there is a difference in spelling) and "Don't be ridic!", Julie Campbell (and Kathryn Kenny) wrote a series of mystery books kind of like Nancy Drew except Trixie is considerably younger, is part of a large family, and gets into more trouble than you can shake a stick at. This particular issue involves poachers, a diamond ring being given as collateral so her brother can pony up money for a jalopy, and venison stew.
Not a bad read, though I found myself wanting to skip through parts. (I was good and did not.)
Time to read: 1 hr, 45 mins (appx)
Rate: ***-- (kept me amused enough, again it's hard to rate something that is 1: aimed towards a considerably younger age group and 2: an antique).
