The book that I read was Operation: Titanic. Carolyn Keene, one of my favorite mystery writers, wrote this book. As you already have guessed this book is a mystery. I loved the suspense in this book especially because this book contains two mysteries all rolled into one. I would recommend this book to kids ten or older.
This book is about Nancy Drew, a detective who shares a lot of her stories with her best friend Bess Marvin. Two of the other main characters are Frank and Joe Hardy, who follow their Dad's footprints. They too are detectives, and their father is a detective who is known about nation wide. These young detectives help find the thieves that are planning to attack the Hampton. The Hampton is a cruise ship bound to raise the Titanic from her watery grave. This book sure has a lot of surprises.
In the beginning Nancy Drew is invited by the ever so handsome billionaire, Walter Welsh, to see the Titanic be raised. She accepts the invitation and Bess Marvin tags along. On the boat she spots some thieves that caused a murder back in Chicago, and has an exciting time trying to track them down. When the ship gets attacked she leads the way to the scene of the crime.
All the while Frank and Joe are trying to enjoy a nice vacation until their car gets run off the road by a van. Finally Frank and Joe escape but find other strange happenings at their stay at Wedge Grove Oceanography. During these strange happenings Frank and Joe are hired to work for the Network, a government security team. Their job is to ride in a helicopter to the site of the Titanic and board the Hampton, who is owned by Walter Welsh. Frank and Joe are to pose as journalist and try to find a man who they think is aboard the ship and is very dangerous.
On the ship Nancy, Bess, and the Hardy boys get together and exchange stories. They soon find the needed information to stop the Hampton from going under. They even get to enjoy dinner and a dance on board one of the nicest cruise ships in America.
I truly enjoyed this book and would rate it a nine on a one to ten scale. So if you like suspense and thrill this would be a great book to read!

This book was excellent! It was the first I've read of the series and it got me hooked. Nancy is trying to find the person who is getting so many tickets to cruises and concerts and stuff when her main suspect is shot dead by a supposedly dead criminal. Nancy continues her search on the Raise the Titanic Cruise, where the millionare Walter Welsch plans to raise part of the Titanic. Her only question is: What's up with this millionare? Plus, when the Security Force on the cruise ship ascerains that there are bombs in specific places on the ship, it's up to Nancy to figure out where the controls to the bombs are. Meanwhile, as Frank and Joe drive to an Oceanography Institute, a group of men knocks their car off the road. Their adventures continue at the institute with their friend Eric.Then, the Network sets them up to pose as reporters on the Raise the TItanic Cruise to find a criminal responsible for... well you'll just have to read it. The plot is awesome and the ending is really a surprise. Their isn't really any Nancy/Frank stuff, except for a little joke about it at the end. This is really a Must-Read book!

This book was sooooooooooooo good. This is the first book of Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Supermystery book that I've ever read, but it encouraged me to keep on reading the series! This book was excellent, though there wasn't much romance... I love reading mystery with romance in it. But still, it was just great... I definitely recommend it to people who like Carolyn Keene's books. It's about Nancy on this case where some guy tries to get the special cruise tickets for raising the Titanic. Then he's killed and Nancy is actually there, and Nancy meets the billoinare that's raising the Titanic. Frank and Joe Hardy are trying to get a normal vacation with their friend, Eric Cox, but they end up in a mystery that somehow relates with Nancy's case. It's really filled with action and mystery. Two thumbs up and a five stars book!

Who keeps wishing that Ned and Callie would get together? Ipersonally think they would be perfect for each other. Has Callie everbeen in a supermyster? NO!!! It makes you wander how much Frank really loves her.

Well for the most part the mystery side of the book was good. I really didn't like that the arthur had them meet on page160 or something. But for the most part the mystery was good and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.

This book was certainly a disappointment. For me, part of the fun of reading the Super Mysteries is how Nancy and the Hardys meet, in this book, they didn't meet until the end, which meant that the beginning was VERY boring. I had to force myself to read until they meet. The other thing was the "romance" between Nancy and the millionaire, I would have much perferred she and Frank but...

This has to be the best book in the series. Its the first one I read, and got me completely hooked on the series. A must read for anyone. Will the Titantic be raised? Will the Hardy boys actually get to relax on a vacation? Is Nancy dating a Millionaire? Read and find out

So Nancy's on the hunt for an alien. That may inttrigue you a bit but now we have a terrorist on our hands so while Nancy is with Bess trying to sort out who's after them, Frank and Joe have been contacted by the Gray Man and he wants them to do something. So posing as journalists, they set off to get some information and--no big surprise--Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys end up working together on a ship to raise the Titanic. I mean, unrealistic, because no one would raise the Titanic anyway and you always expect something from Frank and Nancy. It's not going to happen. Next we'll be thinking Ned and Callie would go out together. Overall though, it is a reading book, not something to just dump to the side after the first page.

I did like the book. It is the first one I've read in the serious and has convinced me to follow up with the others. I do agree with some others that the Hardy's and Nancy met too late in the book. Their meeting, and a few of the "witty" lines in the book were a little corny but I found them enjoyable. I liked how everything in the book was up-to-date. I've been a loyal follower of the classic Hardy Boys books which were all placed in the time of "Leave it to Beaver". But this was well up-to-date with cell phones and lap tops. I liked the style of writting in the book. It flowed smoothly and was easy to read without it being in "Dummie Language", as a lot of teenage books are. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery.

I thought the book was great.It has action and plus Frank&Joe Hrdy with NacyDrew on the side.Great job Carolny Keene!

It or they need to get it together.Nine words: they meat at the end and the millionare EXIT!!!!! And when are Nancy and Frank going to leave Ned and Callie???Their perfect for each other. Even more perfect then Nancy is with Ned and Frank is with Callie.
