Mystery at Bob-White Cave
Mystery at Bob-White Cave | Kathryn Kenny
6 posts | 17 read | 2 to read
The Bob-Whites are off to the Ozarks to spend some time with the Beldens' Uncle Andrew. Trixie can' t wait to explore some dark, damp, and most of all, mysterious caves, because she has another scheme up her sleeve. A national magazine is offering a reward to anyone who can find three " ghost cave fish." Nothing will stop Trixie from finding them-- not bats or wild cats or even a real ghost!

Okay, I'll admit that this one was a VERY soft pick for me, but hey, nostalgia FTW as this is also one that I have definite memories of reading back in the day 😂 But Trixie really got on my nerves in this one! She was so whiny and impatient and OBSESSED with the ghost fish. Like - maybe other people had other things they want to do?? Also you're on vacation, so you could just let go of the whole “we HAVE to earn money for charity!!!“ thing for ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) like three days?! On the other hand, I really enjoyed the rest of the Bob-Whites, especially when Trixie tried to say that her first impressions of people are always right and Honey called her out on it 😂

Side note, where do you think Uncle Andrew gets all his money?? Because I don't feel like sheepherding in Iowa is THAT profitable!

I had mixed feelings about the whole ghost/amnesia/back from the dead aspect of this story. What did ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) you all think? And was Trixie actually annoying, or was I just in A Mood when I was reading this one? Any other thoughts?

I am still really enjoying these, and looking forward to The Blinking Eye this month - although apparently that one didn't have anything as memorable as eyeless fish, as I don't remember it at all! 😆

lauraisntwilder Trixie was annoying! 😆 I thought the ones right before this one were two of the better ones, so this one was almost jarring. 3h
DebinHawaii Trixie was pretty bad in this one. I just remember being fascinated by the ghost fish growing up & how scary the caves were (I‘ve always been claustrophobic) 😱 Funny about the next one. I remember Trixie gets a fortune & although I haven‘t picked it up in decades, I think it starts “Great headed man with blinking eye, a shaded road, a horse‘s cry…” I need to pull it off my shelf & check to be sure. Don‘t ask me how I can remember that! 🤣🤣🤣 2h
BookmarkTavern She was very focused! 😂😂 I think if there had been a more urgent need for the money, I wouldn‘t have found her attitude to be too much. And I feel like every long running mystery series needs at least one amnesia storyline. 😂 So at least we‘ve got that out of the way! 2h

Who were the kids in this book? Because they didn't act at all like the Bob-Whites from the first 10 books. Trixie was persistent to the point of being annoying. Their poor uncle! He didn't get to see them much in Iowa (& Trixie almost drowned) & they aren't paying any attention to him in Missouri either (& Trixie almost drowned). I hadn't realized that Kathryn Kenny was a pen name, but it's pretty obvious to me now. #bobwhitebuddies

The Bob-Whites next adventure includes spelunking, ghost fish, & a mysterious voice on the wind.

This was the 1 I remembered the best from my childhood. The description of the eyeless fish really freaked me out as a kid. There were some interesting side mysteries, & I loved the side characters in Andrew‘s lodge. Although I laughed out loud when Trixie said “when has my 1st impression been wrong?” & a last minute kind of pointless twist.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

lauraisntwilder Agreed on that twist at the end -- so unnecessary. 3d
Sparklemn This was one of my favorites. 3d
TheAromaofBooks I also thought the first impression line was hilarious 😂 I appreciated Honey calling her out on it LOL I finished this one so I am hoping to post a discussion post for us today or tomorrow!! 2d

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished Book #11 for #BobWhiteBR on Sunday. Trixie & the Bob-Whites (sans Dan of course & Di this time) are off to Uncle Andrew Belden‘s lodge in the Ozarks. Trixie is obsessed with finding rare cave ghost fish to win $500 to buy a station wagon for “crippled children.” As a child, I remember being fascinated with the ghost fish & admiring Trixie‘s bravery in spelunking in the caves. (My claustrophobia could never!)😱

Another one I haven't read yet. Not fond of how this book's author (those said to be by Kathryn Kenny are by multiple different authors, I think) starts out with her having a whining fit. It's off-character.
