Trixie Belden 27 The Mystery of the Ghostly Galleon

The Mystery of the Ghostly Galleon by Katheryn Kenny (pseudonym name) is number 27 in the Trixie Belden Series. Miss Trask a long time established character in the series refreshingly gets her time in the spotlight as we learn more about her interesting family background that involves a Pirate's Inn and the long time unsolved mystery of the disappearing Captain Trask.  Still I was shocked to read about Miss Trask's grey hair, for some reason I always imagined her somewhat younger in appearance. The story includes all of The Bob Whites including  Dan. The story also does a good job of showcasing Trixie and Marts sibling rivalry whilst still maintaining a caring attitude towards his sister when she needs it most. The food in this book sounded delicious too. I love a book that remembers that writing good menus in restaurants is important. Here are some ... Flaming Trask -ka-babs  which are chunky beef wedges marinated in Pirate's Inn own special and delicate sauce skewered and cooked to perfection over an open fire. The Weak - Hearted Willies Chicken Pies whose interiors will please your palette and whose exteriors will melt your mouth and Captain Chowder creamy thick soup.
