5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Hardy's best adventures!, May 6, 2000

This review is from: The Mysterious Caravan (The Hardy Boys, No. 54) (Library Binding)

This is a really interesting, twisty story where they run into a lot of danger and adventure, first in Jamaica, then Morocco. This is one of my favorite Hardy Boys stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mysterious Caravan, August 7, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Mysterious Caravan (The Hardy Boys, No. 54) (Library Binding)

I think this book was cool because I learned some French and Arabic, the mirage in the last chapter, the landfall of rocks in the same chapter, and where Chet might have thrown up. He was wrong about being poisoned, but it was sort of funny. Also, it did seem a little real, but now it dosen't, because the waiter was friendly, and probably would never poison anybody, unless nessicary. So the rest of the parts may have been four stars, but this book was pretty good. The plot especially. So if you're 8-11, read this suspense-filled book.

This review is from: The Mysterious Caravan (The Hardy Boys, No. 54) (Library Binding)

Frank, Joe and their friends are vacationing in Jamaica when an ancient death mask washes up on the shore near their beach house during a storm. A group of treasure hunters take an immediate interest in the mask. Frank and Joe believe that it is because of the mysterious Arabic words concealed in the mask which they believe may lead to a treasure. This book wasn't bad; it is probably one of the better books of the 50s; although that doesn't neccesarily mean anything. The book has a moderate amount of action and they run into the criminals quite often. The mystery is fairly interesting and the book moves at a good pace. During the course of the book, Frank, Joe and their friends are in Jamaica and Morocco; however, unlike many of the higher volumes, the book didn't come off as a geography lesson instead of a mystery story. The book isn't one of the best of the series, but it won't bore the reader either.
