Lisa and Amy kick off a new Trixie Belden book in this episode. The Mystery of the Castaway Children has them scratching their heads as they figure out what they need to know and what’s just extra fluff. There’s an abandoned baby in Reddy’s doghouse, and everyone fights over who gets to feed him. The BWGs name the poor little boy Moses Bob-White. The Beldens agree to foster the child, as Trixie and Honey (in coordination with Molinson) get on the case of locating his parents.

It’s time for Lisa and Amy to start another Trixie Belden Book! What’s in the queue? The Secret Off Old Telegraph Road.School’s almost out for the summer (again) and the BWGs want to help the art department with some well-needed supplies. Unfortunately, it looks like the return of Ben Riker, who is hanging around with the “bad boys” at Sleepyside Junior-Senior High, may throw a wrench into the club’s plan to host a bike-a-thon fundraiser!
To celebrate Thanksgiving, Lisa treats you to a “Turkey Trot” party courtesy of the Frankel’s book Unusual Party Ideas and Games.

In part three of The Secret of the Unseen Treasure, Lisa and Amy wade their way through two more chapters. The BWGs carry out a midnight covert operation. Honey becomes an activist and finds her voice. Poor Brian has lost his botanical skills. Also, who is growing marijuana in Mrs. Elliot’s cornfield?
In her ender, Lisa breaks out another overtly politically incorrect party. The theme is Daniel Boone, so prepare for the unconscionable antics of the American frontiersman. The source is The Junior Party Book by Bernice Wells Carlson.

In this episode, Lisa and Amy take you through the next few chapters of The Secret of the Unseen Treasure. Another mystery arises as Trixie and the gang continue investigating the stolen social security checks. Someone has sabotaged Mrs. Elliot's water pump! A few questions that Lisa and Amy address: Why is Mr. Belden spilling even more confidential bank information? Does Bobby need to get cleaned up every time he gets dirty? Do we really need to know so much about water pumps? And, most importantly to Lisa, why is lemonade mentioned so many times?
It's Amy's birthday, and Lisa treats her to all her favorite enders. There are recipes for a hor d'oeuvre birthday cake and some yummy gelatin aspics. Of course, it wouldn't be a birthday without a party, so Lisa tacks on a Sock Hop party from Unusual Party Ideas and Games by the Frankels!

Lisa and Amy are back from their VERY long hiatus! This episode was recorded last October and is worth the wait! It’s the final part of Ramona and Her Mother you’ve been waiting for! Beezus wants to go to the hair salon rather than receive Mrs. Quimby’s version of a haircut. Ramona gets new pajamas and continues to deal with the angst of family stability.
In Lisa’s ender, it’s a “Club Halo de Paree” party from Any time is Party Time. Floye L. Free also calls this a “Naughty Time" Party! No need to worry, though, the party was revised for the church crowd.

In this episode, Lisa & Amy complete their revisit of Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary. During the last half of the book, Ramona faces even more challenges as she negotiates her way through kindergarten. To her dismay, she has a rain boot crisis, is scared by her own Halloween costume and misses out on trapping the tooth fairy. As if that weren’t enough, Ramona finally gives in to her obsessive need to pull one of Susan’s boing boing curls. This impulsive act turns her into a kindergarten dropout.
In Lisa’s ender, it’s time for a surprise birthday party (maybe) with a Nature Bird theme (sort of). In Any time is Party Time, Floye L. Free provides Lisa and Amy with yet another party that requires lots of brain work and several Google searches.

Lisa and Amy are more than challenged by their last Trixie Belden book episode. The Mystery of the Uninvited Guest has been a struggle to this point, and the final part offers very little clarity. As Juliana’s wedding day approaches, the BWGs continue to work the Miss Ryks case. How many times can Lisa and Amy say, “It makes no sense,” “I don’t know,” “It doesn’t say,” “They don’t tell us,” and “I don’t understand?” A lot!
Questions? Where is Dan Mangan? Exactly what is a “wheels sale?” What is going on at the Glen Road Inn? Do cowboy hats really make a gang appear more dangerous? How many times does is take to confirm Miss Ryks’ true identity? Why do bare feet scare Trixie? Are the wedding gifts really worth all this trouble? Can a wheelchair be a weapon?
Also, Bobby becomes a caterer, Mr. Lytell and Mrs. Vanderpoel suspiciously motor around Sleepyside together, the thieves rack up expenses as they carry out their plan, Molinson and the Sleepyside police can’t catch a thief, Hallie is missing, there’s an arrest at the reception, and the BWGs carry out a rescue.
It’s the final ender of season one, and A Calendar of Games doesn’t disappoint. Lisa presents a Candy Capade party that will both puzzle and entertain.

Part two of The Mystery of the Uninvited Guest has Lisa & Amy stumped and frustrated. The book becomes even more convoluted as they try to find answers to the many, many, many questions. This week in Trixie land, Trixie, Honey & Hallie juggle between investigating the strange new occurrences in Sleepyside and planning Juliana’s wedding.
More questions! Are Trixie and Hallie becoming friends or are they ready to throttle each other? How did a scratch get on one of the Wheeler bikes? And a follow-up to that--who’s bike is it? What does it mean to “carry a guest book” at a wedding? Why doesn’t Julianna realize that her engagement ring is missing?
Also, Mrs. Vanderpoel is back, Dan’s NYC gang is lurking in the woods, Miss Ryks suspiciously orders liver & onions, food disappears from the Belden kitchen, and Juliana find a wedding dress in an odd place.
We’re back to the Frankel’s Unusual Party Ideas and Games in Lisa’s ender. Join us as we celebrate April Fools Day (either too early or too late).

In this episode, Lisa and Amy begin their discussion of The Mystery of the Uninvited Guest. This book will close out the first season of Books From the Basement, and it’s a doozy! Hans and Juliana are getting married at Manor House, and it’s going to be one crazy wedding! To make things even more wonky, Trixie’s cousin, Hallie Belden, comes to town and makes it impossible for things to go Trixie’s way.
So... many… questions... in this first part, alone! What’s the backstory behind Trixie and Hallie’s volatile relationship? Can just corn on the cob and veggies pass as a proper Belden meal? What’s the deal with the mysterious wheelchair? Do Hallie and Dan have what it takes to be a couple? What’s up with all the raspberries? Are the Wheelers double dating with Miss Trask and Mr. Lytell?
Also, future Dr. Brian is back, mysterious Miss Ryks is in town, Di’s slighted, Dan’s whistling off key, Jim and Trixie share a root beer, and the Lynch mansion is robbed!
Lisa’s ender is a Tourist party courtesy of Ronald F. Keeler in Suggestions for Socials!

It’s time for the final part of the Mystery of the Missing Heiress, and Lisa and Amy try to put this convoluted book into a semblance of order. Story threads are everywhere, and while most lead to a dead end, some lead to no end at all. After Trixie rescues Janie from a dangerous situation, even more mysterious things start to happen. Plus, it’s old home week as familiar characters rejoin the mix.
Questions for this episode: Is Mr. Lytell struggling to keep a stock of new batteries in his store? Why is Juliana making dolls day and night for a Turf Show booth? Do the Belden’s park their car in a barn, a garage or some odd combination of the two? Why does Dr. Gregory have patients in his waiting room in the middle of the night?
Also, Hans comes to town, there’s a prowler in the Belden yard, Spider Webster returns to Sleepyside, and Snipe & Bull Thompson are on the loose.
Lisa’s ender is a bundle of surprises, including an ice breaker that cracks Lisa and Amy wide open.

In this episode, Lisa and Amy continue their discussion of The Mystery of the Missing Heiress. The BWGs get to know Jim’s long-lost cousin, Juliana. At the same time, a new girl, temporally named Janie, enters their lives. She has amnesia after a mysterious car accident. She moves in with the Beldens as she works to put the pieces of her life back in place.
Questions for this episode: Will Jim’s school be a refuge for runaway, orphaned, troubled or some sort of combination boys? Just how much time do Honey & Trixie spend “volunteening?” Also, what is “volunteening?” How does Janie walk through the woods without getting lost? Is Janie really Barbara? When did Mr. Wheeler buy a plane?
Also, Brian does research on amnesia, Juliana has mystery transportation, Mr. Wheeler flies Janie to Chicago, Trixie hangs off a cliff, and Juliana freaks out—a lot!
In Lisa’s ender, the Fellows treat you to an “Opportunity Party!” Lisa and Amy have a very difficult (and comedic) time figuring out this one!

It’s time for the next book in the Trixie Belden series! In this week’s episode Lisa and Amy begin their discussion of The Mystery of the Missing Heiress. The news that Jim has a long-lost relative sparks Trixie's curiosity, and she pulls the rest of the BWGs into a new mystery.
Who is Betje Maasden, and why is a mysterious man asking questions about her? Why is Mart so mean? What happened to Spider & Tad Webster? Can all the Wheeler’s horses jump? Why is Moms making so much catsup? Tennis Anyone?
Also, there’s a surprise for the BWGs, Mrs. Vanderpoel makes another appearance, Regan is competitive, and there’s too much information about horses!
In this week’s ender, it’s a Dude Ranch party without any horses… or dude ranches!

In this last episode of The Mystery on the Mississippi, Lisa and Amy try to decipher the final events that happen in St. Louis. Trixie’s case takes a dark turn when she and Honey are kidnapped and held on an abandoned steamboat.
Questions? What do the BWGs have against staying in a group? Do FBI agents really send notes to teenage girls? Is Honey under a strange spell? Why is Brian still refusing to doctor? Whose case is this anyway--the FBI's or The Belden-Wheeler Detective Agency's?
Plus, The Aguileras and Pierre Lontard pop back in, the Bob-White whistle saves the day, and there might be a reward based on a gun smuggling tax!
In this week’s ender, it’s back to Suggestions for Socials for another politically incorrect party called “Gathering of the Bums.”

Lisa and Amy are deep into The Mystery on the Mississippi as they discuss the second third of this Trixie Belden book. The BWGs (minus Di) are still in St. Louis and are deep into Trixie’s new mystery. Between important sleuthing matters, the gang also manages to see some sights (sort of).
Questions? Has Brian forgotten how to be a doctor? What’s up with the Secret Service? Does Mart ever get to see Tom Sawyer country? When did Jim learn how to handle a car like a stunt man? Is it safe to swim alone in the early morning? Per usual, some are answered, some are not.
Plus, Trixie has another traumatic experience, A new friend doesn’t seem so friendly, the black Mercedes is everywhere, the strange chart is starting to make some sense, and the BWGs meet a real “Huckleberry Finn.”
In this week’s ender, it’s back to A Calendar of Parties for another unforgettable social gathering. Lisa time travels back (or forward) to April Fool’s Day for a Crazy Capers Party.

It’s time for a new Trixie Belden and The Mystery on the Mississippi does not disappoint. The BWGs head to St. Louis for their next adventure. Even Dan Mangan gets to tag along on this trip. Trixie & Honey’s case begins almost immediately when they find a briefcase in their motel room. When a man arrives to claim it, Trixie’s radar goes off and another mystery is afoot.
Questions? Why don’t the BWGs fit into Mr. Brandio’s car? Is Jim really capable of driving the group around safely in a strange city? Where are all the steamboats? Can Lisa and Amy actually make it through another songfest?
Plus, Trixie has a traumatic experience, Honey develops an odd attachment to a cook, Mart can’t seem to decide what he wants to do, and everyone knows the same folksongs!
Lisa has a new book for this week’s ender. Your own Party Book by Gertrude Crampton gives instructions for a swim party that’ll be hard to forget!

Lisa and Amy wrap up The Mystery of the Emeralds with an in-depth discussion of the last third of the book. The search for the missing emerald necklace continues when a secret tunnel connecting Green Trees and Rosewood Hall is discovered.
Questions? When did Trixie learn to read blueprints? Will the BWSs ever find out if the necklace is either cursed or charmed? How quick can you by a house in Virginia? Why can’t Jim tell Trixie she’s wonderful?
Plus, timelines are out of whack, Jim doesn’t hold a grudge, Mr. Lynch comes to Neil’s rescue, the BWG “gang” scares Jenkins, Jim saves Trixie, and Di turns 14.
In Lisa’s ender, you’re invited to a “Private Eye” party hosted by your favorite party planners, the Frankels.

In this week’s episode, Lisa and Amy continue their discussion of The Mystery of the Emeralds. Trixie and the rest of the BWGs are now sleuthing their way around the tiny town of Cliveden, making both friends and enemies along the way.
Could Trixie and Jim’s trip to the cemetery be called a date? After all, they do conveniently end up in a dark mausoleum together… What happens when Trixie remembers to “always look up?” What is the universal way to open a locket? And why don’t Jim and Trixie know this? Would Honey make a better nurse than a detective? And, the most important question, where are all the flashlights???
Plus, Brian tends to yet another head injury victim, Mart and Di “kinda” flirt, and Lisa gets to call another fight!
In Lisa’s ender, it’s your favorite party planners, the Frankels, and a “Fantasy Party” you won’t forget.

Lisa and Amy’s favorite book in the Trixie Belden series (so far) is up for review. The Mystery of the Emeralds takes the BWGs (minus Dan Mangan) on yet another summer vacation. If you’ve lost count, this makes four. Just add it to the one earlier in June, along with the two they went on in the future! The destination this time is Williamsburg, Virginia. After Trixie finds a mysterious letter in the attic, the BWGs are drawn back into Civil War history as they search for a hidden emerald necklace.
Was Crabapple Farm part of the Underground Railroad? Who (or what) is the Queen of the Highways? How will the BWGs finance their trip to Virginia when the club treasury is virtually empty? How did Helen Sunderland marry a man with the same last name? Plus, Bobby can’t talk (again), Mr. Belden gets a personality and Di has a great idea!
It’s all a part of this jam-packed episode, so sit back and read along as the BWGs embark on a new adventure.
In Lisa’s ender, it’s back to the Frankel’s Unusual Party Ideas and Games for a “Chain Reaction Party.”

Trixie and Jim volunteer… sailing… sailing… sailing… and the race is over! The secret of the chart is revealed, and the BWGs scour Cobbett’s Island for the treasure. What can be found at Ethel’s Bakery other than jelly donuts? Is the villain, Slim, the same as the bad guy from Bob-White Cave? Wait, has that even happened yet? Will Lisa get to call another fight scene? How is police procedure on the island? There’s a lot of action in this one, so be prepared to get all amped up!
Lisa found a new party book for her ender this time. Find out if a “Three’s a Crowd” party is the next one you’ll want to throw! Also, Lisa and Amy need assistance with figuring out the games for this one, so listen carefully and help them out!

It’s time for Part 2 of The Mystery on Cobbett’s Island. On the hunt for buried treasure, the BWGs find a chart with nautical symbols in the Kimball’s gazebo. They set sail with new friends, Peter and Cap, to see if they can find the clues in the surrounding area.
This episode is full of sailing wisdom, (if you’re into that kind of thing), plus, stinkpots, a real clambake, an old captain with yarns, and, of course, sea chanteys. Even with a fever, Lisa still tries valiantly to understand the complex summer time travel of the BWGs.
Will Diana continue to make Mart jealous, or is he too interested in food to care? What really happened when Honey and Brian slipped away for a walk on the beach? How dangerous can Trixie and Jim make themselves look to fit in at Jimmy’s (where all the bad kids hang out)? Was Ed a real person? There are lots of other questions for Lisa and Amy to discuss, so just sit back and enjoy the fun!
In Lisa’s ender, you’ll attend a “Come as You are” party courtesy of the Frankels.

Lisa and Amy are excited to delve into The Mystery on Cobbett’s Island! Guess what? It’s June again, and the BWGs time travel back to the beginning of summer for their first vacation after the end of the school year… huh? Tag-a-long Di joins the inner circle on a trip to Cobbett’s Island where the Wheeler’s have rented a house for the summer. They find a hidden letter that gives a hint about where a treasure chart is located, kicking off the first (maybe) mystery of the summer. Before they can leave town, Trixie needs to go shopping for a new bathing suit, which seems to be a major event. Questions in this episode? Can future doctor, Brian, treat something other than a closed head injury? Has time travel caused Diana to lose some of what little smarts she has? Why does every BWG vacation end up having a chore wheel? What’s with the obvious flirting between Brian and Honey? Is Di trying to make Mart jealous, or does she really think Peter is the tops? Maybe you’ll find out, maybe you won’t, but listen anyway, and Lisa and Amy will do their best to figure it out for you.
In Lisa’s ender, there’s more fun and games courtesy of Godfrey and Lillian Frankl. This time it’s a “Turnabout” party.

Settle in with Lisa and Amy for the conclusion of The Mystery of the Blinking Eye. The BWGs face more challenges as they stay in pursuit of the dangerous men following them. Luckily, Dr. Joe Reed is available to distract them with his model trains, as well as, a side trip to the hospital to visit a random little girl. When Trixie is lured to a dodgy restaurant to meet with the thieves, will the rest of the group be able to save her in time? Other questions: Just how big is Trixie’s idol? Will the Mexican woman's prophecy come true? Will the Wellingtons actually make an appearance? Will Mr. Wheeler ruin Trixie’s case? Also, there are lots of Jim/Trixie heart moments in this episode, so perk up your ears and enjoy!
In Lisa’s ender, you’re invited to an “unknown party.” Details of which are,,, well,,, unknown!

In this episode, Lisa and Amy continue their discussion of The Mystery of the Blinking Eye. Still in NYC, the BWGs and the Iowans visit some of the landmark sights. On the agenda are the Statue of Liberty, the Museum of Natural History and the Empire State Building. Trixie attempts to dodge the bad guys as they continue their pursuit of her idol. Plus, the Hubbell twins get the opportunity to sing on national television. Questions to be tackled are: Why can’t the group follow their own rule ( and the warning of others), to always stay together? Did Bob and Barbara’s guitars teleport from the airport? Why is the apartment doorman engaging in reckless behavior? Are Mart’s magic skills improving? How many times can Lisa say, “I don’t know? "
In Lisa’s ender, it’s time for 1960's teenagers to throw their first boy-girl party. First piece of advice: Tell your friends when and where!

It’s time to learn all about The Mystery of the Blinking Eye! The BWGs (All of them this time) are spending the week in NYC. Their friends from Iowa, Bob & Barbara Hubbell and Ned Schultz, want to take in all the sights and sounds of the big city. Even though she’s not expecting a mystery, Trixie stumbles into one while helping a lost Mexican woman at the airport. The woman gives her a straw purse and a written prophecy. When events begin to follow the warnings of the prophecy, the rest of the group (some more slowly than others) get drawn into the mystery.
Questions, you ask? What’s the deal with the icon idol statue that Trixie bought at an antique store, and why are some shady men willing to risk harming a 14-year-old girl to steal it? Should a horse pulling a Hansom cab really be rearing? What are the current ages of the BWGs? Now that Diana and Dan Mangan are included, how much do they really have to say? Read along, listen and decide for yourself!
In Lisa’s ender, there’s a new party book in play. Hope you’re all ready for a 1960’s Caveman party!

In the conclusion of “The Mystery at Bob-White Cave,” Lisa and Amy tie up the loose ends (the best they can) of the BWG’s trip to the Ozarks. Is Mr. Glendenning sharing a cabin with the strange ghost that haunts the woods? Will Jim save Trixie from drowning in a sinkhole (there is a next Trixe book so…)? Will the BWGs catch all three specimens of the ghost fish and win the contest? How powerful is a head injury and can it actually help the patient? These are just a few of the questions that Lisa and Amy try to answer. Also, Lisa calls a play-by-play of Jim and Slim’s cave fight, and Brian’s in full doctor mode!
In Lisa’s ender, it’s time for another party! This time it’s a Date Social, but don’t get too excited, this party is a mystery in itself.

Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts and more ghosts! This week, Lisa and Amy continue their review of “The Mystery at Bob-White Cave.” There are many tales about lingering spirits that haunt the woods around Uncle Andrew’s fishing lodge in the Ozarks. A haunted cabin is hosting guests that may consist of two living humans and one spiritual being. Trixie ignores the rhetoric and instead searches in earnest for ghost fish (which are a real thing)! Is Slim really surly, or will he turn his attitude around and become friends with the BWGs? Exactly what is a play party? Who started the fire? Where is the missing ghost fish Trixie finally found? These are the questions that Lisa and Amy attempt to answer in this episode.
In Lisa’s ender, various ghost stories of the Ozarks are on the agenda. Also, Lisa and Amy discuss their own take on the afterlife and the existence of haunting spirits.

It’s time for Lisa and Amy to revisit book #11 of the Trixie Belden series, The Mystery at Bob-White Cave. It’s summer vacation, and the BWGs (minus Dan and Di) decide to spend some time at Uncle Andrew’s fishing lodge in the Ozark mountains. Trixie is more interested in catching ghost fish in a cave, than catching bass in the lake. A fishing contest springs her into action, and she urges her fellow club members to join in her enthusiasm. New characters pop up on a regular basis including Mrs. Moore, who believes her dead husband is haunting the woods surrounding the lodge, and her 14-year-old daughter, Linnie. Ghost stories are plentiful in the Ozarks, but Trixie doesn’t believe in ghosts. Instead, she chooses to take on the legends as new mysteries to solve.
In Lisa’s ender, it’s time for another 1940’s social occasion. It’s a puzzle party, which Amy and Lisa find puzzling as well, just not for the same reasons!

Lisa and Amy finish their discussion of The Marshland Mystery in this Trixie Belden episode. 18-year-old reporter, Paul Trent, has a bone to pick with Trixie and the BWGs. He’s determined to destroy Trixie’s reputation as Sleepyside’s best resident detective. If that weren’t enough, Trixie still has to play matchmaker to Bobby & Gaye, organize an antique sale, and stop the city council from forcing Miss Rachael into a nursing home. As always, only some of the following questions will be answered: Who’s Emily? What happened to the surly men digging up Miss Rachael’s garden? Will Gaye ever be able to live the life she truly wants? Why does a bit of rain keep the entire town from showing up at an indoor antique sale?
In Lisa’s ender, you’re invited to the most politically incorrect party yet. Hint: The invitations are in the shape of tepees…

Welcome to book #10 of the Trixie Belden series: The Marshland Mystery! A child violinist has come to town and wreaks havoc in Sleepyside. With behavioral issues worse than Bobby’s (which is debatable), she’s got everyone hopping to attention with her demands. Trixie and Honey are determined to gather samples at a nearby swamp, but find themselves immersed in a mystery of sorts. Who is the old lady with the pointed-toed shoes? Where is Bobby’s bike? Can Bobby suck his thumb and get a girlfriend at the same time? Listen to Amy and Lisa dissect the multiple mysteries that Trixie finds herself juggling.
In Lisa’s ender, it’s back to 1940’s party time. The suggested games for an April Fools party will have you thanking your past party hosts (hopefully) for not inflicting this sort of humiliation upon you. Even the refreshments will have you wondering “who thought up these ideas!”
This episode is part 1 of 2

In the final episode of “The Happy Valley Mystery,” Lisa follows up on some nagging questions from “The Black Jacket Mystery.” Afterwards, Amy and Lisa finish up their discussion of “The Happy Valley Mystery.” There’s a live lamb in the oven, a “great” rabbit hunt, and dinner with new friends, which includes a competition about whether the BWGs or the 4-H club is most charitable. Danger emerges as Trixie’s determination puts Honey and Jim in a perilous situation. And, maybe most importantly, Jim and Trixie’s relationship reaches a new level.
In Lisa’s ender, she discusses the author issue with Amy as they once again try to determine who wrote this book. Also, Trixie Lore is revisited when Lisa shares character descriptions of the Wheeler family (minus Jim Frayne).

In Part 2 of “The Happy Valley Mystery,” Lisa and Amy continue their attempt to sort out what’s going on in Iowa. Trixie’s trigger is hot as she impulsively accuses local folks of being sheep thieves. On the chopping block are a man with a black beard, Ben the hired hand, and a couple of brothers just trying to make it in the sheep business. In between working on the farm and chasing down suspects, the BWGs find time to hit the basketball court and attend a combo BBQ/dance. Honey and Diana are flirting with the Rivervale boys, while Trixie is jealous of a blonde that has caught Jim’s eye. The breaking point for Lisa comes during her attempt to discuss the performances of some of the BWGs during an impromptu skating show.
In Lisa’s ender, she once again breaks out the Trixie Lore for a character description of Jim Frayne.

What are the BWGs doing on a sheep farm in Iowa? Find out as Lisa and Amy discuss Part 1 of “The Happy Valley Mystery.” There’s lots of sheep stuff to translate and the information about caring for the fluffy animals is plentiful. A lost calf, an upside-down sheep, a snowstorm, a great escape, and a gully rescue keep the BWGs busy. There’s also lots of information about birds and a detailed description of the use of sheep parts. Despite all of this action, Trixie is distracted by the mysterious disappearance of sheep from the farm. Ignoring the warning from Uncle Andrew not to get involved, Trixie immediately puts herself on the case. Her first suspect: a strange man with a black beard who “looks like a sheep thief.”
In Lisa’s ender, she breaks out the Trixie Lore for a character description of Jim Frayne.

In the conclusion of "The Black Jacket Mystery," Lisa and Amy comb through the action packed final third of the book. Brian practices his doctor skills like he’s seen on TV, Bobby runs away (again) and must be rescued (again), and Dan Mangan is still acting like a NYC gang member (sort of). Questions to ponder during this episode are: Will the catamount ever make an appearance? Why doesn’t anyone know the classic signs of a concussion? Can a wool sweater really save the day? Does painting on leather work? And, once again, where is Di??
In Lisa’s ender, learn about historical dance perils, including “getting stuck” and knowing when the best thing to do is “go home.”

In this jam-packed episode, Lisa and Amy maneuver their way through the first four chapters of "The Black Jacket Mystery."

Who is Thunderer and how does he magically turn into Jupiter? Why is Honey suddenly using her feminine wiles on the Belden boys? Who is parenting Bobby? And the burning question: Where is Di???
In this episode, Lisa and Amy will point out discrepancies with past books, and share their opinions about this new authors perspective of the Trixie Belden series.

No more BWGs?! That's what Principal Stratton tells Trixie when gang-related activity starts to plague Sleepyside Junior/Senior High. In a quest to prove their worth to the school board, the BWGs embark on a UNICEF fundraiser, only to find themselves waist deep in another series of mysteries.
Lisa and Amy peel back the layers of part 1 of The Mysterious Code. It's a new author, new character development, new side stories--all things new! Have Moms and Dad Belden experienced personality changes? Why is Spider Webster eating hot dogs at Whimpy's instead of policing Sleepyside? Where is the decoder to the acrobatic alphabet? What exactly happened (or didn't happen) to Nell Frayne's music box? Some of these questions will be answered, others... well... not so much!
In Lisa's ender, ponder your own answers as Lisa quizzes Amy on regional food names!

Lisa and Amy finish up their discussion of The Mystery in Arizona. Trixie is homesick for Bobby, but luckily there’s a stand-in named Petey. He’s on the loose with his own nonsensical babble about a giant “g’rilla," creepy dancing people, and skeleton eating. Also, Jim cracks down hard on Trixie over homework, the ranch guests are demanding jobs, potential BWGs are in the mix and the word “squaw” is still making an appearance. Trixie’s mysteries are solved, but Amy and Lisa are left with more unanswered questions about the editing of the different editions.
