The Secret of the Mansion

Trixie Belden #1

By: Julie Campbell

Narrated by: Ariadne Meyers

Trixie first appeared more than 50 years ago in The Secret of the Mansion, which was followed by 38 other adventures as generation after generation of readers grew up with mystery-loving Trixie and her friends. Now, after 15 years, Trixie is back to make fans of a new generation!

Trixie can't believe she's stuck in Sleepside all summer while her lucky brothers are away at camp. Then a millionaire's daughter moves in next door, a runaway kid hides out nearby, and rumors heat up that the old mansion on the hill is filled with a fortune. Maybe the summer won't be so boring after all!

My son and my daughter both loved this!

I have (almost) 8 year old twins, a boy and a girl. We listened to this book in the car over spring break and it was darling! It had adventure, and intrigue which kept them both hanging on every word. But what I really liked was the "folksy" way the book was written with values that seem to have fallen to the wayside in this day and age. I think the copywright was from 1950 but my children didn't even notice it was 60 years old! From a parent perspective it was truly refreshing to listen to a wholesome book. This was a nice treat and we'll keep listening to the Trixie Belden series.

wonderful memories

I read (and reread) all of this series as a child and it was great to hear them so well presented in an audible format.

Very enjoyable story😊😊😊👍

I really enjoyed the story, i’m looking forward to listening to the next one and any others that follow. 😊😊😊💕💜💕

A new Trixie Belden fan!

I just finished this first Trixie Belden adventure and enjoyed it thoroughly. Somehow I missed these while growing up, but am going to catch up real soon as Audible releases more of the series. The narrator is wonderful, the characters believable and likeable. For a book obviously set in the 1940s, it's timeless...a great story of youngsters spending their summer having fun in the outdoors. No video games or shopping malls here! A great listen for a 47 year old as well as pre-teeners. Would make a wonderful vacation trip listen for a family. Thank you Audible for obtaining these!

Gets you on the edge of your seat!

The secret of the mansion is a great book for long dreary nights. This book is recommended for 5 and up.Great book with a beautiful setting and a mysterious mansion! Five Star review.

Best Ever!

Best book ever. I've loved it for 55 years. I very highly recommend.

childhood favorite

I started to listen to it and a huge smile crossed my face. so many memories and the narrator is absolutely perfect.

Trixie Belden - Girl Sleuth

The Trixie Belden series were my favorite books to read as a youngster. I am really excited that at least the first four are available for listening. The narrator is mostly pleasant when reading the text but some of the voices, eg: Honey, Bobby & Miss Trask, are horrid! Even though I don't appreciate the narrator, I hope that more of the titles in the Trixie Belden series become available soon. What a great girl sleuthing adventure series to read ~ OUTSTANDING to listen to!

A childhood favorite

My mom and dad got me these for Christmas when I was 10 years old. I started out with five in the series. I ended up reading them all and could not wait until the next one came out. This audio version was really good. The narrator did a good job. I just felt the need to walk down memory lane.
