Short storyline: Trixie Belden, Honey, Jim, Brian, Mart, and Diana go with Mrs. Trask on a weekend trip to visit her brother in their childhood home - an old inn. Her brother mysteriously disappears, and Trixie has to find him to save him, and the inn.

Notes for the reader: A great mystery! No violence and no murder. This was fun, as Trixie is now an avid reader and finds that her favorite author is staying at the inn, and is also the author of Mart's favorite series!
