Trixie Belden and the Red Trailer Mystery

Trixie Belden and the Red Trailer Mystery by Julie Campbell Tatham (1950) This is the second Trixie Belden book, and the second one I've read. Trixie and her friend Honey Wheeler head out of town, on a summer trip with Honey's governess, Miss Trask, who is driving, pulling a little trailer, which they're camping in. For most of the book they they are staying at a trailer camp called Autoville. The story continues, to some degree, from the first book, when the girls met and became friends, and met this orphan kid, a boy named Jim. Now, the girls are looking for him, as he has kind of struck out on his own. He is quite capable, and also hard to find, but they know he's somewhere in the area, in which there's woods, farmland, and summer camps. It really made me want to travel somewhere with a trailer! The “red trailer” in question belongs to a mysterious family they encounter. Trixie and Honey go exploring on horseback and on foot—and their two dogs go along with them, but also kind of just run around and explore on their own. It's a good mystery with a lot going on—really, multiple mysteries—and there's some really fun, odd characters. This book made me want to read the next Trixie Belden story, and it seems like it's a good idea to read them in order.
