#BobWhiteBuddies !!! I finished this a couple weeks ago but then spaced on actually posting at the end of the month 😂 Did you all get to this one in January? Did you like it? I thought the setting was fun, although we've already begun the trend of leaving poor Dan behind! Why did the authors even make him a member of the gang?? I really liked the way Trixie didn't have all the answers here, and had to stop and reassess a few times. However, the ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) rivalry between the Bob-Whites and the local kids felt a little odd to me. I remember being really excited about them mentioning 4-H in this book, as I was a 4-H member for ten years, and then an advisor for ten years after that, so it was a big part of my life. And of course we get the little taste of romance between Jim and Trixie that made my heart flutter when I was 13! 😆

All in all, while I had a few little issues, I overall ⬇

DebinHawaii Felt the same way. I longed for an ID bracelet like Jim got Trixie & loved the swoony moment. 💗 1w
BookmarkTavern One of my favorite things about the romance is how age appropriate it is, and how they really take their time building up to it. ❤️ 1w
lauraisntwilder This has been one of my favorites so far. The part with the flood was genuinely scary. I couldn't look away! I love the way the kids' relationships are growing and changing. 1w

What an ending! I kept wondering why the kids were in a boat on the cover. Then, once they were in the boat, I practically held my breath for the rest of the book! #bobwhitebuddies

Trixie & the BobWhites are at it again when sheep thieves are targeting the Belden‘s Uncle Andrew‘s farm!

We get to see the gang investigate another high stakes mystery, meet some new kids, some development on young love, & a dramatic rescue! More importantly, we get to see Trixie fail in her investigations, & then pick herself back up, apologize for her assumptions, & try, try again. It‘s always great to see failure treated as natural.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Purpleness I love your bookmark! 3w

Finished the other day for #BobWhiteBuddies this is Book 9 & a fun one with some serious danger for some of the group as they spend spring break (except poor Dan) in Iowa at the Belden‘s uncle‘s sheep ranch. Trixie is on the case of some missing sheep & making a few mistakes along the way. There‘s ice skating & rabbit chasing & new friends who show up in a later book. This is one of my favorites mainly ⬇️

DebinHawaii … because (slight spoiler here if you care) at the end there‘s a little Jim+Trixie (Jixie?!?) moment” on the plane than had me swooning as a pre-teen.😍 4w

Spending #HyggeHour with Trixie & the Bob-Whites, herbal tea & some peely gummy mangoes to snack on. Also, how cute is this Bob-Whites of the Glen sticker from @TheAromaofBooks ? (Thank you, Sarah!) 🤗

Mood is sad that Monday is tomorrow & it‘s a whole long week of work. I may have the January blues. 😨

#DecemberDreams

Going for nostalgia here. Trixie & the Bob-Whites seemed to partake of #IceSkating in multiple books but I remember in this one they traveled to Iowa to their uncle‘s farm (where sheep were disappearing) & joined in an ice skating (& basketball) event at a local school.
