Okay, I'll admit that this one was a VERY soft pick for me, but hey, nostalgia FTW as this is also one that I have definite memories of reading back in the day 😂 But Trixie really got on my nerves in this one! She was so whiny and impatient and OBSESSED with the ghost fish. Like - maybe other people had other things they want to do?? Also you're on vacation, so you could just let go of the whole “we HAVE to earn money for charity!!!“ thing for ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) like three days?! On the other hand, I really enjoyed the rest of the Bob-Whites, especially when Trixie tried to say that her first impressions of people are always right and Honey called her out on it 😂

Side note, where do you think Uncle Andrew gets all his money?? Because I don't feel like sheepherding in Iowa is THAT profitable!

I had mixed feelings about the whole ghost/amnesia/back from the dead aspect of this story. What did ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) you all think? And was Trixie actually annoying, or was I just in A Mood when I was reading this one? Any other thoughts?

I am still really enjoying these, and looking forward to The Blinking Eye this month - although apparently that one didn't have anything as memorable as eyeless fish, as I don't remember it at all! 😆

lauraisntwilder Trixie was annoying! 😆 I thought the ones right before this one were two of the better ones, so this one was almost jarring. 3h
DebinHawaii Trixie was pretty bad in this one. I just remember being fascinated by the ghost fish growing up & how scary the caves were (I‘ve always been claustrophobic) 😱 Funny about the next one. I remember Trixie gets a fortune & although I haven‘t picked it up in decades, I think it starts “Great headed man with blinking eye, a shaded road, a horse‘s cry…” I need to pull it off my shelf & check to be sure. Don‘t ask me how I can remember that! 🤣🤣🤣 2h
BookmarkTavern She was very focused! 😂😂 I think if there had been a more urgent need for the money, I wouldn‘t have found her attitude to be too much. And I feel like every long running mystery series needs at least one amnesia storyline. 😂 So at least we‘ve got that out of the way! 2h

Been awhile so I can‘t remember much about this one, but I remember it was pretty good.

Friendships can be complicated when you‘re 12 and school projects can be, too. Maizy learns both of these lessons as she discovers Nancy Drew and solves her own mystery with the help of old and new friends. This was cute and fun and I enjoyed watching Maizy work through some very 6th grade problems. It‘s a great homage to Nancy Drew. Also, Maizy‘s mom is a Toad the Wet Sprocket fan, so the book is a winner for that alone!

In today‘s episode of “bands I loved in high school that I NEVER expected to see referenced in a MG book published in 2022”, may I present Toad the Wet Sprocket? 😱😱😱😱 …and now I must go search for them on Tidal. 🎶

AlaMich 🙋‍♀️ I loved them too, although I was a bit older than high school age. 😬 2d
BarbaraJean 😂😂 Love this (I loved Toad in high school, too)! And it‘s such a great band to reference because the band name sounds completely unhinged if you‘ve never heard of them… 1d
DGRachel @BarbaraJean That‘s actually why I picked up their CD! I just loved the band name. 1d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was PHENOMENAL! It was packed with backstory, lore, character development, comedy, and tragedy. I can‘t even say much more other than the fact that I LOVED IT. The definition of a 5-star book in my opinion. March was actually a huge reading slump for me, and I didn‘t even get through this book until today (apr 2). But this book would‘ve been my pick for #readingbracket2025 even if it wasn‘t the only book I read that month.

Who were the kids in this book? Because they didn't act at all like the Bob-Whites from the first 10 books. Trixie was persistent to the point of being annoying. Their poor uncle! He didn't get to see them much in Iowa (& Trixie almost drowned) & they aren't paying any attention to him in Missouri either (& Trixie almost drowned). I hadn't realized that Kathryn Kenny was a pen name, but it's pretty obvious to me now. #bobwhitebuddies
