While vacationing at her uncle's sheep ranch, Trixie and the Bob-Whites track down the thieves who are behind the mysterious disappearance of several sheep. Uncle Andrew needs Trixie's help. Trixie and the Bob-Whites are spending spring break at his farm in Iowa, and his sheep keep disappearing. He thinks they're being stolen! Trixie may not know sheep, but she does know thieves. And she has an idea where to start looking for them-near the mysterious flickering lights in dark, dangerous Walnut Woods! "There are two kinds of people in the world, those who read Trixie and those who don't. Which are you?"-Merrilee Wilkerson, Book People, Austin, TX In the 1940s, Julie Campbell was running her own literary agency when Western Publishing put out a call for talented authors to write mystery series for kids. Julie proposed the Trixie Belden series and wrote the first 6 titles herself, but books 7-39 were written by a variety of writers all under the pseudonym Kathryn Kenny.
