With Trixie & Honey chasing after Jim, stolen & robbed trailers, & a missing girl, their summer is getting a lot more exciting.

One of the things I loved the most about these books is that I felt like these were real girls. As much as I loved Nancy Drew, she felt as unreal as a Barbie to me. Trixie & Honey were girls I could have grown up alongside. I loved how kind the girls were too, with Mrs Smith & the Darnells. Also Diana mention!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Thanks for reading along with me!! I totally agree about Trixie and Honey feeling more like real girls. I always admired Nancy (and the Hardy Boys, and the Dana Girls, etc) but they never seemed like people who would actually be my friends. I always felt like the Bob White adventures could happen to me, and that I would enjoy hanging out with them - a very different connection to these books than others!! 18h

I'm loving these Trixie books so far. It was a huge missed opportunity that no one adapted these into a movie starring Hayley Mills around the time she did "The Parent Trap." #bobwhitebuddies

YAY!! Another fabulous outing with Trixie and Honey!!! This one definitely feels like Part 2 of the first book. While I 100% enjoyed this, some of it felt genuinely ridiculous, but in that fun, campy way that I love. And as a kid I still felt like these were adventures that could happen to me. So many characters running around in the woods in this book!! 😂 I honestly loved how the girls were terrible at directions and didn't always make the ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) right choices.

Side note: These girls should NOT own dogs!!! 😂 😂 😂

How did you feel about this one? Was the ending too over-the-top? I liked that the author at least TRIED to make it feel reasonable for the Wheelers to adopt Jim out of no where by saying they used to know Jim's dad... but it still kind of feels like it's out of nowhere haha

Favorite scene was probably Honey trying to be a gangster 😆 ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Do let me know what you thought. Did anything stick out to you? Anything you thought was especially ridiculous or especially clever? Did the story and characters work for you, or did it feel too unlikely?

Next month we are on to The Gatehouse Mystery and I THINK Trixie's brothers come home from camp. Brian was definitely my crush in this series, so I'm looking forward to his return 😂

Thanks for reading with me #BobWhiteBuddies !!!!

Read4life I‘m just enjoying rereading these. I agree that the girls aren‘t great at keeping up with the dogs! 😂 I liked how Honey‘s mom was portrayed at the end of the book. 3d
lauraisntwilder Mine has a misprint and page 225 is repeated in place of 235, so I don't have the second-to-last page! I'm pretty sure they all made it back to Sleepyside though. This was such a fun book! I loved Trixie and Joeanne separately getting tangled in branches and vines. They should've left the dogs at home! 😂 Yes, there are some far-fetched plot points, but after reading a few Nancy Drew books, this one feels almost pretty reasonable. 2d
TheAromaofBooks @Read4life - I loved that, too!! The part earlier in the book where Honey said she thought her mother would have loved her if she had been a boy 😢 That made the ending even sweeter when her mother was so genuinely happy to see and hug her. 2d
TheAromaofBooks @lauraisntwilder - Oh no!! 😂 Truly, let me know if you want me to scan the last page and email it to you because I totally can!! Those dogs were NOT a good match for this trip haha I think growing up that made Honey and Trixie feel more realistic to me, though. Their mistakes always felt relatable lol 2d

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024

Finished last night for #BobWhiteBuddies Trixie & Honey are on the hunt for Jim with Miss Trask in the Silver Swan trailer & of course come across a case involving thieves of high-end trailers & other mysterious happenings along the way. A good set up for future books. Key learning: never let Trixie & Honey dog/pet sit—they totally suck at it & Honey‘s “gangster” talk cracked me up. 😆 Looking forward to book 3.

TheAromaofBooks I couldn't believe how many times they lost track of the dogs!!! 😂 5d

Starting my #HyggeHour a bit early because I‘m not sure how long I‘ll last tonight. Still recovering & mostly sleeping & thankful to have tomorrow off as my work week will be slammed.

So it‘s Trixie for #BobWhiteBuddies& if I finish, some Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm for #ChildrensClassicRead2024 tonight, on the couch with hot tea with honey (not shown). Mood is tired, froggy & foggy. 😉🤧😷😵

#Naturalitsy #LitSolace #HyggeHourReadathon

My #HyggeHour was spent like much of my day today, resting & being mellow. I‘m trying to get over jet lag & a sore throat so a pineapple fruit pop is my reading snack for this Trixie Belden title for #BobWhiteBuddies

I‘m not ready for Monday. 🥺

Oh how I wanted to go on a road trip in an Airstream like Trixie and Honey! In reality, I hate camping of any kind. Give me a hotel and shower, please. 🙂🚿💙

My #TrixieBelden #TheRedTrailerMystery has a misprint: a second p.225, where 235 should be. Out of 236 pages. Kind of anticlimactic, that. 😂
