Trixie makes a mystery out of the possible poacher, but it is more her lack of information and a tendency to make assumptions from what little she does know than the fact that there is a mystery to solve. While this is a very pleasant read and it was nice to visit with my childhood friends again, I realize now (as an adult) that this one just doesn't have much of a mystery to it. I have to emphasize the word "little" from that last sentence. While doing their rounds, Honey and Trixie stumble upon evidence of a poacher and the Bob Whites have another little mystery to solve. His friends hate to see him give up the dream of a car, so they ask to work as temporary gamekeeper for the Wheeler's huge estate until Honey and Jim's dad can get a full-time man on the job. How will they be able to make the repairs before the predicted next storm?īrian, Trixie's eldest brother, had been saving up for a car and decides to donate that money to the cause. The Bob Whites had spent the last of their club savings on the previous work done to make the old gatehouse into a clubhouse. This includes a big spruce that knocks out the rear wall of the clubhouse and makes a hole in the roof. It brings strong winds and cold air and downs trees on the Belden and Wheeler properties (as well as the neighboring area). Trixie and the Bob Whites have just put the finishing touches on their clubhouse when a nasty fall storm hits Sleepyside.
