Trixie Belden and the Marshland Mystery #10

Trixie Belden, my old friend!

When I was little, I loved to read. My mom loved to read, too, and when she was young, all she read were Nancy Drew mysteries. Nancy had disappeared from the bookshelves by the time I came along, but Trixie Belden had arrived to replace her. So it was Trixie books that I received for birthdays and Christmases. Mysteries were really never my thing, but, hey, a book is a book, and any sort of book, for me, was always better than jewelry or perfume. Still is, actually.
