All Aboard for a Major Mystery

Frank and Joe have the ultimate case on their hands: to judge the sleuthing skills of five teen dtectives in a contest sponsored by Teenway magazine. Even more cool -- the contest takes place on a caribbean cruise ship! But it's not long before suspicious pranks threaten to ruin the contest: one of the Teenway interns nearly falls overboard, the "mystery scene" the contestants studied gets tampered with, and someone may have poisened the food!

How can the Hardys solve this titanic mystery? With the help of five teen detectives, of course -- along with their own expert investigating skills. But they's better move fast, because a culprit lurks beneath the caribbean sun -- and it's sink or swim for Frank and Joe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good!, August 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Caribbean Cruise Caper (The Hardy Boys #154) (Paperback)

While the plot itself is enough encouragement to read it over and over, the suprise ending really, well, suprised me! The end is much better than other Hardy Boys books, which by itself is a noteworthy achievement.

The whole point of the cruise is to find out who is the best Detictive. The other Detectives on this Cruise are a sassy girl with glasses and 2 other boys. The cruise goes fine untill mysterious things happen to the ship and crew one of these things is they have a cake and there are fake bats in it! but that does not stop the crew from stoping.Now the Hardy Boys have to solve the chalenges on the ship but also find out who is playing these tricks on the crew.
