The Bob-Whites find Juliana in Sleepyside, but their discovery is over-shadowed by a mysterious woman - nicknamed 'Janie' - who has been hurt in an accident and is suffering from amnesia. Trixie tries to help Janie find her family and discover who she is, but her attempts are thwarted by Juliana. When another attempt is made on Janie's life and Juliana begins acting mysteriously, it is up to Trixie and the Bob-Whites to find out the truth and uncover the true identity of both Janie and Juliana.

About the Trixie Belden Series

Reading age: 8+ years

Trixie Belden is a vivacious, 14-year-old tomboy who likes nothing better than adventure and solving mysteries. While one might expect her to lead a quiet life living with her parents and three brothers on Crabapple Farm, just outside Sleepyside-on-the-Hudson, New York, nothing could be further from reality! Trixie (short for Beatrix) and her best friend, Honey Wheeler, hope one day to have their own detective agency. As they tackle mysteries that have baffled authorities, the two girl detectives - along with other members of their club called the 'Bob-Whites of the Glen' - are certainly getting plenty of training!
