Adventure in northern Idaho...

This is another great book in the Trixie Belden series. This story takes place during a camping trip on Champion Creek in northern Idaho (not the Ozarks). The Idaho Beldens (Hallie, Cap & Knut) are hosting the Bob-Whites (except poor Dan who had to stay behind because of his summer job) and Miss Trask. Adventure and a meeting with the legendary Sasquatch await our Trixie! I wish these books were in print again.

One of Trixie's best adventures, set in the Idaho forest.

The Sasquatch Mystery follows The Uninvited Guest, in which we were introduced to Trixie's cousin Hallie and hear about her brothers Cap and Knut. In Sasquatch, Hallie hosts the BobWhites at her family'd favorite campground deep in an Idaho National Forest, and we become better acquainted with the three Western Beldens. This mystery manages to explore a potentially silly theme (the Sasquatch!)in serious manner, questioning the human impact on the wilderness and exploring the way different people react to the powers of nature (Di vs. Hallie.) I loved the feeling of bonding around the campfire experienced by the Bobwhites, despite the seemingly unecessary presence of "Miss Trask, Chaperone." We all know real kids would be making out in their tents and drinking by the campfire--but that's why we love Trixie's world. Miss Trask, as always, is a good sport, despite sasquatches, strenuous nighttime hiking, large rodents, nefarious logslides, slingshots, and geriatric battery. Sasquatch is one of my favorite mysteries--good look locating a copy of this, one of Trixie's best!
