In the news
The first two books in the Trixie Belden series
were re-released by Random House on June 24, 2003. After almost 20 years
since they were last in print, Trixie Belden is now making the news.
Random House published books 5-9 in
2004 as well as a box set of the first three books plus also releasing the first
three books on audio tape.
In 2005, books 10-15 were released and then the series discontinued. Visit the
Random House site for the latest
publication dates.
Random House is re-launching the Trixie Belden
