The Trixie Belden books are one of many kid detective series that have been popular over the years, and podcast guest Darla Rennegarbe is a lifelong fan. We chat about reading as an escape from pesky brothers, fortuitous bookstore purchases, and the power of books to foster empathy in a young reader. Also, Darla fires the first shot at Nancy Drew!
