Swell fun for young chaps, chums, and fellows!,

This review is from: The Tower Treasure #1 (Hardcover)
Frank and Joe Hardy, teenage sons of a famous detective, find a mystery to solve on their own when the Tower Mansion is robbed of a fortune in jewels and bonds. The caretaker is arrested, but the boys don't believe he's guilty.I read the original 1927 edition and it is quite a trip back in time. By today's standards, the language is antiseptic and bland ("No slang please, not in Tower Mansion!"), but it's perfect for boys aged 8-10 who are just beginning to read chapter books. There's no danger, violence, or even much action to speak of; the emphasis is on the boys' resourcefulness and determination. Joe and Frank Hardy are relentlessly optimistic and straight-arrow good guys; in fact everyone in the story is wholesome and uncomplicated. Although the Hardys clearly obstruct justice by hiding clues from the police (who are portrayed as bumbling idiots), they emerge as real teen heroes. The story was serialized (and made more exciting) on TV in the fifties in The Hardy Boys. The book's straightforward simplicity is reminiscent of "The Boxcar Children," another kids-know-best children's novel.

The Tower Treasure,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hardy Boys Mystery Stories (Hardcover)
This book was good. Its the first book of many in the series. It was a good way to break Frank and Joe Hardy in when it comes to solving the mysteries to come.The book had good flow and introduced us to many characters in the series. The only problem I have with the book is the cover. Frank and Joe look like they're 14 years old and not the 18 and 17 year olds we read about. The cover and interior art are somewhat misleading. The story describes the old and new towers at the tower mansion being square. The cover of the book clearly shows a different shape. There is a picture in the book that shows the tower being square in shape. Other then that I would recommend this book to all Hardy Fans.

Don't Read This Book,
By C.R. (Nerdsville, Nowhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tower Treasure, the Hardy Boys #1 (Hardcover)
I would never read another book by this author because the mystery is took hard to figure out by myself. I like mysteries that I can solve myself but this one was too difficult. Also, it was strange because the Hardy boys rode motorcycles and they are too young. The book was first written in 1927 and maybe things were different back then. But since this is the year 2002, some things in the book are too old-fashioned
