There are two well-known facts regarding the final five books in the Trixie Belden series.
1. The novels are generally the least well-regarded among Trixie fans.
2. If you don't already have copies of the books and want them, they will cost you a small fortune.
Published in the 1980s, the last five novels were only released in one edition before the series was canceled. This means there were fewer copies printed and they now hold the distinction of being the rarest and hardest to come by Trixie Belden books, despite their general lack of popularity among readers.

There is next to no chance these books will be reissued to the public in the foreseeable future. While Random House did re-publish the first 14 books of the series in the early 2000s, sales were presumably not impressive enough to continue and while most of the books may be found used at fairly reasonable prices on sites like eBay, the final five are hard to come by and can run into the hundreds of dollars.
Trixie Belden is slowly fading from memory as her original fans age and fewer and fewer new ones come along. Barring some unexpected event, such as a TV revival similar to Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys, it's likely that Trixie will eventually be remembered only by a very small but devoted fandom and as a footnote in the world of children's mystery series.
For now, for any diehard fan who wants to read these Final Five but finds them out-of-reach due to price or scarcity, they can be found online at Archive.BookFrom.Net.
