Back in the day, I was obsessed with Trixie. I know I read all the books multiple times and imagined being a part of the Bob Whites. I recently discovered my 1988 library summer reading log, and I think all the Trixies were on it. From a nostalgia perspective, this is definitely a 5 star series.

As an adult, it doesn't hold up quite as well as some of my other childhood favorites. But here are a few things I noticed on this reread:
the immense medical detail and random accidents--malnourishment, copperheads, horse-riding accidents, oh my!
Had completely forgotten the "poor little rich girl" part of Honey. What a sad, sad story.
All the gardening! And the heat. But maybe that's my own current summer mentality.
