The Mystery of the Ghostly Galleon
The Bob-Whites plan to spend a few days at Finger Lakes with the Wheelers are ruined when Mr Wheeler has to go away on business, so Miss Trask invites them to join her on a visit to her home in the Catskills. The Bob-Whites are tempted by the opportunity to solve the mystery of the disappearing Pirate captain, but Trixie finds other suspicious happenings occurring at the Inn. Ghostly Galleons, fires, mannequin wrestling - and the disappearance of Miss Trask's brother - present a major mystery for Trixie to solve before the mortgage on the Inn is foreclosed, and the Trask family lose the Inn forever.

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!
