It depends on what she's afraid of. There's nothing supernatural about these. Trixie and her friends are 'typical' teens and pre-teens (I say 'typical' with quotes because the books were written in the '50s and '60s) who encounter mysteries wherever they go. There are no murders or violence, however, although the denouements are usually 'thrilling'.
I read them when I was a kid and much preferred them to Nancy Drew myself, finding both the characters and the situations more realistic.
