When Trixie and Honey find a wallet on Glen Road, they become entwined in a mystery of the missing millionaire, particularly when his daughter, Laura, captures their sympathy for her plight. Mr Lytell loans Laura two thousand dollars to hire a detective and Trixie and Honey are excited by the prospect of working with a detective, but Trixie can't help feeling jealous of the attention Jim is giving Laura. Trixie struggles to push her jealousy aside and concentrate on the mystery, but are her true feelings confusing the situation - or is there really a reason to dislike Laura Ramsey?

About the Trixie Belden Series

Reading age: 8+ years

Trixie Belden is a vivacious, 14-year-old tomboy who likes nothing better than adventure and solving mysteries. While one might expect her to lead a quiet life living with her parents and three brothers on Crabapple Farm, just outside Sleepyside-on-the-Hudson, New York, nothing could be further from reality! Trixie (short for Beatrix) and her best friend, Honey Wheeler, hope one day to have their own detective agency. As they tackle mysteries that have baffled authorities, the two girl detectives - along with other members of their club called the 'Bob-Whites of the Glen' - are certainly getting plenty of training!
