Trixie Belden and her seven friends are amateur sleuths whom all live out in the country in a town called sleepy side. They have a lot of fun together and they have horses to ride. There's hiking wooded areas and there's a little town that seems to have some action going. There's Wimpys a hamburger place that they like to go get hamburgers and cokes and Trixie tells the other kids about the phantom grasshopper, which is the weathervane on the top of the town hall and it gets stolen and Trixie and her friends investigate, and let us say that Trixie help the police get to the people who stole it, and some of the people she thought were guilty were innocent, and some of the people she thought were innocent were guilty. This is a very nice teenage fun out in the country story very clean cut and these books were written from the 1950s through the 1970s , the Trixie Belden series. I'm an adult and I love this series and I just recently started reading it for the first time.

I have loved Trixie Belden books since I was a kid and even at 48 I will reread them.

From the back of the book:
"The heavy front door closed solidly behind Trixie...The long corridor that ran past the stairway was dark and gloomy looking, and the stillness of the old building made Trixie feel she should walk softly....She almost reached the stairs when she saw a door directly across from the stairway slowly open. A tall man backed out into the hall and soundlessly closed the door. Turning, he saw Trixie...."
