5.0 out of 5 stars One Blast of a Mystery!!!... by David House, January 23, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hardy Boys 58: The Sting of the Scorpion (Hardcover)

One blast of a mystery! I can't beleive that other reveiwers don't like this book at all!(maybe they're mystery haters...no offense.) The Sorpion Sting is about when the Hardy Boys find the Safari Queen drop two things out of the sky. A small object that exploded, and a elephent that also explodes. The Hardys go an investigate and can't because of the gaurd's orders not to let them in. The Hardy Boys later find themselves scrambling in another mystery. The rest I have no time to tell because I going to Sandiego to compete in a Teakwondo(karate)tournament in an hour. Make sure you this book carefully.(if you haven't)

This review is from: Hardy Boys 58: The Sting of the Scorpion (Hardcover)

The Sting of the Scorpion by Franklin W. Dixon is a great example of a Hardy Boy book. It is about a new dirigible that is being sabotaged. Also an animal park owner is being pressured to sell out. Can the Hardy boys stop the evil Scorpio gang in time? Franklin W. Dixon writes nothing but mystery stories. People who like suspence would love this book. I give this book 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!, June 20, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hardy Boys 58: The Sting of the Scorpion (Hardcover)

I bought this book even though it was rated only 2 and a half stars. I found it VERY interesting! In this book, the Hardy boys witness an explosion and see an elephant fall out of an airship owned by Quin Air Fleet. Then they receive a weird map telling them to go to a tree in Wild World park. They also investigate the mysterious happenings at the park owned by Pop Carter. The suspense level is not so good, but the content is quite good. It is also a little modern, unlike the other books. I still recomend it to all Hardy boys fans.
