Synopsis

There’s a new face in Sleepyside, and Trixie Belden is sure this stranger is up to no good. Too bad no one else believes her. But if anyone can get to the truth of this visitor’s real motives, it’s detective Trixie!

Trixie Belden hasn’t talked to Diana Lynch in a long time—not since her family got incredibly rich…and snobby. But the week before Halloween, Trixie and her best friend, Honey, spot Diana looking a little down, and Trixie knows it is time to put old grievances in the past.

Except the past is exactly the problem for Diana. Her long-lost uncle Monty recently arrived from Arizona, and Diana is less than thrilled about the reunion. Monty won’t stop pulling pranks, he is eager to buy lavish presents, and he constantly embarrasses Diana in front of all of her friends. Worst of all, he’s insisting that Diana host a Halloween party.

Monty may have fooled the adults, but Trixie is convinced he’s wearing a costume of his own. Can Trixie unmask Uncle Monty’s tricks and prove he is an imposter—or will Di be the one who is sent packing?

I recently brought home an old box of books my mom had been storing in her basement, so I'm working my way through some childhood treasures, including 4 Trixie Beldens. I'm not sure what happened to the other 20-some volumes, because when I was about 9 or 10, I had the entire set. A comment on anoth......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on May 23, 2018

This is one of the "Trixie's wild imagination turns out to be correct" stories which are only sort of fun to read because usually there's plenty of evidence that only Trixie (and sometimes Honey) takes seriously. So the other teen characters come off as slightly stodgy and, in this case, dismissive......more

The Bob-Whites grow in number as they add neighbor Diana Lynch to the mix. She's unhappy because of her uncle. He's just shown up after being missing for years, and Diana is sure something is off. Could he be an impostor? A good mystery and the characters are still at their best. Another great read......more

This was very enjoyable. The story introduces Trixie and Honey's friend Diana Lynch into the series, and has a decently plausible plot. I liked that it involved friends and relations rather than random stranger-crooks -- the stakes felt higher with the closer intimacy.......more
