In this one, Trixie and her gang visit her uncle's farm in Iowa. She catches sheep bandits! I really like that Trixie as presented as having negative thoughts about her friends, behaving somewhat badly, etc. She's more "real" than other old-fashioned girl mystery heroines.

A childhood favorite re-visited.
Is the story as good as I remember? – Yes
What ages would I recommend it too? – Ten and up.
Length? – Most of a day’s read.
Characters? – Memorable, several characters.
Setting? – Real world, pre - computer pre - air conditioning, pre - cell phone.
Written
Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Ready to read more.
Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? Yes. A slight mention of the time frame of the story - as the teens are given far more freedom to come and go as they please than would be safe today. Also, the absence of computers, cell phones, and air conditioning in homes, especially the mansion.
Short storyline: Trixie Belden, Honey, Jim, Diana, and her brothers work to catch the sheep thieves on Trixie's Uncle's ranch in Iowa. After a few false leads, she, Jim, and Honey finally catch the thieves, as well as a lost puppy.
Notes for the reader: A great mystery! No violence (only referred to from the past), no murder.

The Bob-Whites go to a sheep ranch in Iowa. The adults who are not familiar with her history doubt that Trixie can discover who is stealing sheep. Trixie is jealous when another girl pays attention to Jim.
