The wheelchair isn't the only thing that goes missing. Miss Ryks manages to finangle an invitation to the wedding, even though neither Hans nor Juliana is really sure who she is or how she knows their families. Miss Ryks is staying there along with her nephew, the scrawny Dick Ryks. It eventually ends up at the Inn to be used by elderly cripple Miss Ryks. They find that the chair was supposed to be delivered to the Glen Road Inn, but was lost along Glen Road instead. Trixie grudgingly lets Hallie help her investigate. The wheelchair becomes very important throughout this story. Bobby actually sounds more grown-up and articulate than usual in this book, but still, no one can make sense of what he is talking about. He tells them some jibberish about seeing a wheelchair and someone stealing mail. She accuses Hallie of spying on her, but it's actually Bobby who is the culprit. Trix sees someone at the window of the Belden's home, looking down the lane with binoculars. Trixie and Hallie have never gotten along very well in the past, and this visit doesn't start off very well either. Hallie is tall and slender and even prettier than Diana, if such a thing is possible. It should be a happy time, but Trixie is upset by the arrival of her cousin from Idaho, Hallie Belden. They're to be married in the Manor House garden, and all the Bob-Whites will play a part in the ceremony. It's still summer in Sleepyside, and everyone is getting ready for Hans and Julianna's wedding. This book picks up where the last one left off. I don't mean to sound lazy, but I'm not going to try to recap the whole thing. Trixie looks really pretty in her bridesmaid dress. Oh, and I like the cover too, except for Jim's fuchsia red hair. Vanderpool- everyone is invited to this party. And everybody gets to play a role in this one. Some of Trixie's faults are pointed out and dealt with in this book, instead of being glossed over as they often are. It's more introspective, contains better dialogue, and the humor is actually funny. Some say the tone of the book is off, but I think the writing style of this one is great. I'm a little surprised that it doesn't score higher on a lot of people's lists. Re-reading it solidified that decision in my mind. In the past, if I were pressed to choose a favorite Trixie book, it probably would have been this one.
