The Secret of the Mansion by Julie Campbell

They are shocked to find a tall, redheaded boy asleep on a mattress. Under the pretense of locking a window, Trixie and Honey climb inside to look around. Trixie uses this chance to explore around the miser's rundown old mansion. Recently, Trixie's neighbor on the other side was taken to the hospital with pneumonia. Trixie helps her new friend overcome these problems, while Honey balances Trixie's rash and impatient personality with her tactfulness and gentleness. Trixie realizes that Honey really is a 'poor little rich girl', her parents are never home, she has been very sickly, and she grew up at boarding schools, at camps, and with governesses. Although tough Trixie thinks Honey is a sissy at first, they soon become fast friends. The Wheelers, a rich family from New York City, have just bought the mansion and are moving in with their teenaged daughter, Honey. She then sees a horse trailer outside a neighboring mansion. The family cannot afford a horse, so Trixie is told she will have to save her money to buy one. Her two older brothers are away at camp for the summer, and Trixie is afraid she will be bored at their house, Crabapple Farm. The book opens with thirteen-year-old Trixie begging her mother for a horse. Original six written by Julie Campbell Tatham There has been no news of Random House publishing the remaining 24 books.
