A 2007 Summer Reading List Mini Review
I never realized before how much the Scooby Doo cartoon series is indebted to the Hardy Boys and other teenage mystery series of that genre. We have a group of teeneage kids, who stumble into mysteries. The scoobies have the mystery mobile. The Hardy's have thir car and their boat aptly named "the sleuth." Scooby Doo seems to be a Hardy boys adventure played for laughs. The capture baddies in this book even bemoan their fate on p.169 stating "If they hadn't come snooping-". Sounds familiar?
I really enjoyed my trip down memory lane back to Bayport and those meddling kids.

This book takes place in a town just south of the Hardy Boys home town Bayport, in a town called Rockaway. The Problem starts when the town police ask the Hardy Boys (Two young tetectives in there upper teens, Frank and Joe Hardy) to help them solve the case of two missing people. When they begin Solving the mystery they find out theat the missing people are not missing, they just left their town to become terrorists, and they plan to take over Rockaway so they can smuggle in drugs a Rockaway point. Find out just how the Hardy Boys solve this mystery by reading this book.
This book is a great mystery book. The author, Franklin W. Dixson does a good job of keeping a fast pace by keeping the action going. Teenagers who want to go into the criminology field would enjoy reading this book.
These books are often compared te the Nancy Drew books, which are the same books just for girls. This is a very good book. There is always somethingk going to keep you interested. I often had to go back and reread some of the book, so I could remember everything that was happening. The auther did a good job of writing this book the way teenagers woud talk. I would really enjoy reading more books in this series.

As usual, the H. Boys take every opportunity to "out-brain" everyone in the room, and it is simply a joy for the reader. I really don't know how they do it. Those young men are sharp.
For Example (and don't worry, I won't ruin the book for you):
In chapter 16, "The Gerbil, Unaware", I thought the entire pet shop sequence was simply a tool to provide some comic relief following Dick's maming. I had no idea those furry rascals would play such an integral role in solving the mystery.
And who knew Johnny Nitro moonlighted as a PVC salesman?!

Those of you who were forced to study Latin know the old joke: "Cave Canem." It's Latin for "Beware of Dog."
And this story is a definite dog. Already this early in the series, "F.W. Dixon" has started cannibalizing his own work, thinking that hanging about caves is somehow exciting or mysterious.
Let's face it: caves are dreary, dark, damp and dismal. What sort of real entertainment is afforded here?
And besides, about halfway through this story you forget what the boys were looking for. However, in the revised version, there are a great many fun references to the much-discredited 1964 New York World's Fair, especially the huge Uniroyal ferris wheel that they made look like a big whitewall tire.
Guaranteed to break the ice at parties, that is.
