Trixie travels along with her friend, Honey, and Honey’s governess Miss Trask to an autocamp in upstate New York in an attempt to find Jim Frayne, a teenager who has runaway to escape his abusive stepfather. Jim has unknowingly inherited a vast fortune from his great-uncle; Trixie and Honey are determined to find Jim so he can claim his inheritance and become a part of Honey’s family. Along the way, Trixie and Co. encounter a gang of RV thieves and a runaway eleven year old whose family behaves very suspiciously.
This installment of the Trixie Belden series is an enjoyable little mystery/adventure for pre-teens and younger teenagers. The story is engaging and dramatic without being too disturbing; and, of course, everything ends happily—except for the criminals!
The only objectionable content in this book that should be of concern to parents is the girls’ neglectful treatment of their pets. Trixie and Honey each bring their dogs along on their trip and treat them appallingly; for the most part, they simply ignore them! They let the dogs (Trixie’s Irish Setter, Reddy, & Honey’s small puppy, Bud) roam around unleashed and unsupervised; along the highway, through the autocamp, in the forest…Reddy & Bud are allowed to run wild everywhere. It’s no wonder Trixie & Honey are constantly losing their canine charges. At one point, Trixie even forgets to give food and water to the dogs! Then, to make matters even worse, Honey carelessly gives Bud away to a family that has already had one puppy die under their care…Yikes!
And there are never any consequences for the girls’ lack of responsibility. In real life, the dogs would have been run over or seriously injured a million times over by book’s end! Wandering around alone in the woods, Bud—who is only a weeks-old puppy—would have been attacked & probably killed by wild animals. At the very least, both of the dogs would have gotten lost and vanished without a trace at some point. It boggles the mind!
Parents whose children read this book might want to have a serious conversation about the nature of responsible pet ownership so their children don’t think that Trixie’s and Honey’s (mis)treatment of their dogs is appropriate or acceptable.… (meer)
