Lisa and Amy continue on with the first book of the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle series. In this episode, they cover three of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s inventive cures: The Selfishness Cure, The Radish Cure, and The Never-Want-to-go-to-Bedders Cure.

In Lisa’s ender, the fun continues with a “Harvester’s Social,” yet another interesting (and potentially dangerous), event from A Calendar of Parties, by the Fellows.

This episode covers “The Won’t-Pick-Up-Toys Cure” and “The Answer-Backer Cure.”

In Lisa’s ender, the fun continues with a “Want-Ad Party,” courtesy of your favorite party planners—the Fellows—from A Calendar of Parties.

Lisa and Amy are more than challenged by their last Trixie Belden book episode. The Mystery of the Uninvited Guest has been a struggle to this point, and the final part offers very little clarity. As Juliana’s wedding day approaches, the BWGs continue to work the Miss Ryks case. How many times can Lisa and Amy say, “It makes no sense,” “I don’t know,” “It doesn’t say,” “They don’t tell us,” and “I don’t understand?” A lot!

Questions? Where is Dan Mangan? Exactly what is a “wheels sale?” What is going on at the Glen Road Inn? Do cowboy hats really make a gang appear more dangerous? How many times does is take to confirm Miss Ryks’ true identity? Why do bare feet scare Trixie? Are the wedding gifts really worth all this trouble? Can a wheelchair be a weapon?

Also, Bobby becomes a caterer, Mr. Lytell and Mrs. Vanderpoel suspiciously motor around Sleepyside together, the thieves rack up expenses as they carry out their plan, Molinson and the Sleepyside police can’t catch a thief, Hallie is missing, there’s an arrest at the reception, and the BWGs carry out a rescue.

It’s the final ender of season one, and A Calendar of Games doesn’t disappoint. Lisa presents a Candy Capade party that will both puzzle and entertain.

Part two of The Mystery of the Uninvited Guest  has Lisa & Amy stumped and frustrated. The book becomes even more convoluted as they try to find answers to the many, many, many questions. This week in Trixie land, Trixie, Honey & Hallie juggle between investigating the strange new occurrences in Sleepyside and planning Juliana’s wedding. 

More questions! Are Trixie and Hallie becoming friends or are they ready to throttle each other? How did a scratch get on one of the Wheeler bikes? And a follow-up to that--who’s bike is it? What does it mean to “carry a guest book” at a wedding? Why doesn’t Julianna realize that her engagement ring is missing?

Also, Mrs. Vanderpoel is back, Dan’s NYC gang is lurking in the woods, Miss Ryks suspiciously orders liver & onions, food disappears from the Belden kitchen, and Juliana find a wedding dress in an odd place.

We’re back to the Frankel’s Unusual Party Ideas and Games in Lisa’s ender. Join us as we celebrate April Fools Day (either too early or too late).
