7. Trixie Belden - The Mysterious Code (1961) Author: Nicolete Meredith Stack a.k.a Kathryn Kenny
Due to vandalism Trixie's school "Sleepyside High" bans all clubs and gangs. Trixie and "The Bob - Whites of Glen" decide to hold an Antiques show and raise money for UNICEF to show the school that "some" clubs do good work for the community and should be kept. Unfortunately for Trixie the valuable Antiques on show also attracts some thieves.
The first book written by another author does have some inconsistencies with things we have already learnt about Trixie and her friends from the previous books but overall this is a great read. The charity aspect of the Bob Whites becomes stronger and stronger in the series and this novel is a good example of this.
I liked their being a mysterious code but wished more was done with it in the story.
Rating:****
