Trixie Belden: The Mysterious Visitor
The book begins with Trixie complaining to Honey as they leave school about having a homework writing assignment on a Friday.

Kind-hearted Honey Wheeler had noticed that Diana Lynch, another girl at school, was lonely and unhappy since they'd become rich, moved to a large estate not far from the Beldens and Wheelers, and hired many servants. Trixie and Honey make it a point to befriend her. After Honey invites Diana over to her house for night and is accepted, Diana is worried and upset about the fact that her mother is bringing her suitcase. Trixie tries to find out why and ends up upsetting Diana. Trixie thinks Diana is being very mysterious about the suitcase and decides to find out what is wrong. After Brian relates an accidentally overheard phone conversation to Trixie, she's even more convinced that something is fishy.

When Diana says that her long-lost Uncle Monty suddenly turned up many years, Trixie's imagination is sparked into thinking that he is an imposter. Diana is having a Halloween party and is afraid that her Uncle Monty will take over and ruin it. When the Beldens arrive at the party, they find Diana very distraught and dissapointed because Monty had talked her mother into surprising her by bringing in caterers and entertainment. Honey convinces Monty to change some of his plans and while they are talking Trixie discusses with the boys about her thoughts about Monty. Unfortunately, they are overheard by Monty and he sees to it that Trixie isn't let out of his sight.

Trixie's quest is to prove that Diana's Uncle is phony before he gets away with the Lynche's money.
