The Hidden Treasure of Glaston

by Eleanore M. Jewett.  As one can see on the side-bar of my blog, this is one of my favorite books.  Set in twelth century Glaston, England this story is about young Hugh, whose father bring him to Glastonbury Abbey and leaves him in the care of the monks there.  Hugh, along with his friend, Dickon find themselves caught in a mystery of the Holy Grail (the chalice that Our Lord used at the Last Supper).  An old, supposedly mad hermit, the exciting setting, and the details of life in a twelth century monastery all add to the enjoyment of this book.

The Hound of the Baskervilles

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is an exciting book about one of England's most famous (though legendary,) detctives, Sherlock Holmes. Most of the Sherlock Holmes books can be grouped together in a few large books. However, The Hound of the Baskervilles is not the size where this can easily be done. The unabrigded Puffin Classics edition is 240 pages long.

Unlike most of the other books which follow Sherlock Holmes' adventures, several chapters focus on Watson, Holmes' loyal assistant, and from whose point of view the stories are written. A Dr. Mortimer asks Holmes to investigate the legend of a mysterious hound, which suddenly seems to have turned to reality. Holmes sends Watson to protect the heir of Baskerville Hall, and later comes himself. Together the two companions find themselves unraveling many exciting clues until they come to the conclusion of the mystery.

The Mystery of the Emeralds

by Kathryn Kenny is probably the best Trixie Belden book I have read.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Trixie Belden: Mystery on the Mississippi

by Kathryn Kenny. I think that this is one of the best Trixie Belden books I have read. The Bob-Whites have gone on a trip to Missourri with Mr. Wheeler, and as usual, Trixie can't help but find a mystery.

The Mystery of the Angry Idol

by Phyllis A. Whitney is a good book which takes plce in Mystic Connecticut. It's about a girl named Janice Pendelton who thinks that visiting her grandmother in a town by the sea will probably be very boring and dull. It CERTAINLY isn't!

The Innocence of Father Brown

by G. K. Chesterton. The Innocence of Father Brown is a mystery book, (as are the other "Father Brown" books,) and I cannot decide whether I like this or the "Sherlock Holmes" books better. Father Brown is definitely funnier. No priest but he would throw soup at the wall of a restaurant, switch labels on the fruit at the grocery store, and break a restaurant window, so that he would be followed and a criminal, (disguised as a priest, and accompanying him,) would be caught.

Trixie Belden
