Review
(R.T.Byrum) has the basics--with a sense of tension and innocence, and a clear ability to pursue the narrative. -- Craig Thomas (best-selling techno-thriller author)
The Secret of the Shrieking Island is an excellent tale, interesting to adults, but especially interesting to teenagers. -- Clive Cussler (best-selling adventure author)

From the Author
Real life adventure stories like the original Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries thrilled young adult readers for many years. Parents knew they could trust the moral content, while boys and girls from ten to eighteen could identify with the believable heroes, the heroines, and even the villians of those adventures.
Much of that sense of realistic wonder is lost in today's computer-enhanced offerings of occult, science fiction, and teen-age horror stories. The Carver series brings back the opportunity for the reader to experience a realistic world of exciting, and often danger-filled, adventure along with Dave and Andy Carver.

Modern Day Hardy Boys But Better,
By A Customer
This review is from: MYSTERY OF THE SHRIEKING ISLAND (Paperback)
I purchased this book for my son as he loves adventure type of stories. While he really enjoyed it, I think I might have liked it even better. The writing was great, the imagery really sucked you in and it was nice to see wholesome family values promoted throughout. While there was plenty of swash-buckling to grab the attention of a youth, the author didn't stoop to graphic violence or gore. I would not be surprised one bit if this series was made into a television show. It has all the right elements and then some.
