Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- Similar to Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, the Three Investigators are featured in newer, slicker, more '80s-style adventures. Funny Business is set against the backdrop of a high-powered comics convention. When some valuable comic books disappear, the threesome discover just how serious and cutthroat the comics business can be. In Rough Stuff, the Investigators' small private plane crashes in the mountains, far from civilization. When the pilot (and father of one of the Three Investigators) mysteriously disappears, the teens go exploring and discover an isolated Indian Village. Of the two, Funny Business is somewhat less predictable, and it features a nice twist in which the pudgy, girl-shy Jupe Jones finally finds romance. In both novels, the characters are rather stereotyped, including the Three Investigators themselves: brainy Jupe, athletic Pete, and good-looking Bob. Still, the characters are appealing, and there is plenty of action. Satisfying, albeit unmemorable mysteries which should be popular with young readers. --Ruth Sadasivan, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, OH

Fright Flight,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rough Stuff (Hardcover)
The Three Investigators emerge from their wrecked Cessna airplane only to find themselves in a wilderness of mystery. Who is the mysterious figure that disappears into the trees when discovered? Who are the armed men trying to kill them? Why do the The Turock Indians seem so standoffish and sickly? The Three Investigators are familar with question marks...they have three of them on their business card! The Turocks have constantly reddened eyes, in addition to being sick, but it is not because of Jupe's eating. ROUGH STUFF was one of the last adventures in the long running Three Investigators series. ROUGH STUFF was written by G.H. Stone who was one of many authors who contributed to the long running saga of the three young detectives. ROUGH STUFF has an edgy New Age aspect with shamans and vision quests dotting the tale like a stubborn garden fungus. A skull with a bullet hole is evidence of the deadly skulduggery that makes this adventure somewhat more violent than the earlier ones... so parents beware.
