#3Trixie Belden and the Gatehouse mystery

Author: Julie Campbell 
Genre:Mystery,Fiction but seems realistic

Trixie Belden is my favourite character in the Trixie Belden series. She is a Thirteen-year-old girl who is described as being short with a sturdy build, she has short sandy,blond ringlets and round blue eyes. She has a tendency to jump to conclusions, but her hunches often prove to be correct.One of Trixie's chores is to look after six-year-old Bobby, She loves her little brother, but she often loses patience with the mischievous child. Trixie has an amazing instinct for people and can accurately judge them before she gets to know them.Her best friend is Honey Wheeler. She and Honey plan to one day open their own business The Belden-Wheeler Detective Agency.

             My review

I really enjoyed reading all the Trixie Belden books so far. the Author writes in a way that makes it feel like it is really happening and has you sitting on the edge of your seat.These books are suitable for ages 12+ because they could be a little bit confusing for younger kids.Even though these books are quite old they are my favourite series so....
I rate them 10 out of 10!!!.

Here is what the 1st three books are about.

(I didn't give away the actual mystery's in the story's.)

1. Trixie Belden and the secret of the Mansion is about how Trixie becomes friends with a girl that moves in to the house next to her farm. Honey and Trixie become good friends and solve many exciting mystery's together.
2. Trixie Belden and the red trailer Mystery is about how Trixie Belden and Honey go camping to find a  friend that ran away  in the mystery before this one, and happen to come across a gang of trailer thieves.
3. Trixie Belden and the Gatehouse Mystery is about how the two girls stumble across a diamond when they are exploring the old gatehouse on Honeys property. They get sucked in to the mystery and get delayed many times. Will they manage to solve the Mystery or not?

These books may be hard to find because they aren't published much any more. There are actually 39 books in the series. Here are some tips to where you may be able to find them.

1. Look in op shops around your town or area,You should go to op shops every week or two and search around in the book section to find the Trixie Belden books. I think you could ask the shop to notify you if any of the books you wanted came in.
2. You could also go to garage sales, markets, car boot markets etc. All of the options listed would  probable sell the books for a reasonable price and be on most weekends of the year.
3. If you are to busy to look around op shops regularly you can go on to eBay and search Trixie Belden books and there should be a wide variety of the books to choose from, but the only disadvantage of doing that is that they are allot more expensive than op shops.They will range from prices of about $5-$15 possibly more or less than that price because you have to include postage + Price so I am estimating that it would cost at least $10 altogether, if not even more.
4. Some Library's may still have the Trixie Belden books but most won't. It depends on whether your library still keeps old books.But if they do you could borrow them if you are a library member or they may even have them for sale.

I hope you will be able to find them and will enjoy reading them as much as I have
