For instance, I still love to read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.series-books.com\/trixiebelden\/trixiebelden.html\">Trixie Belden<\/a> series. Remember Trixie? She had a great group of friends, lived in the awesome Crabapple Farm, and hated algebra. And, she solved mysteries wherever she went. Who wouldn&#8217;t want to be Trixie? I discovered her in junior high and she&#8217;s been a friend of mine ever since. You can order books from the Trixie series (free!) from another UW System library via <a href=\"http:\/\/library.uww.edu\/services\/ub.html\">Universal Borrowing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s even been some research on this topic.
