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.
