 The Ginny Gordon series is very similar to the Trixie Belden books—apparently Whitman wanted a second series to appeal to the same audience as the first.In many ways, the Ginny Gordon books can be seen as less-well developed versions of the Trixie Belden series, but the books still have a good bit of charm in their depictions of youth culture of post-World War II, but still pre-Baby Boom, young teenagers.Similar to Trixie, Ginny is fourteen years old and lives in Westchester County, New York.
