5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book! (HA,HA), Dec 13 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Secret of Skeleton Island (Library Binding)

This book is a great book. You can't tell who the bad guy is at all! The story really twists and you may start to think that Chris is the bad guy. Chris is a boy who looks for the treasure that a pirate was supposed to dump into the water. The 3 investigators go on a trip to Skelleton island to shoot a picture, but really to discover the secret of a ghost that is haunting Bob Andrews dad movie crew. When they come during a storm a guy takes and strands the 3 investigators on an island. That is were they meet Chris! There are quite a few suspicious people that I suspected. This is one of the best books out of the series(in my opinion). This book may look stupid but it is a great book. And beware you will be staying up all night reading this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ghosts, Pirates, and Treasure--Oh Boy!, Aug 13 2001

By	Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

In this adventure, the Three Investigators venture far away from Rocky Beach, California--3000 miles away to a haunted island on the east coast where Pete's father is working to restore an old thrill park for a movie he is working on. Having met with stolen equipment and the appearance of a ghost, the boys are sent for to figure out who is trying to keep the movie company away from Skeleton Island. The boys meet with danger and duplicity at every turn, it seems, getting themselves into even more trouble than usual--several times by their own doing. ...

There aren't really any plot twists or surprises in this story. What seems to me to be the biggest clue to the whole mystery flops out at you like a dead fish right in the middle of the book, and you have to wait until the end to see Jupiter finally seize upon it. Overall, though, it is still a pretty good story. It's hard to go wrong when you are writing about pirates, ghosts, and treasure. My childhood obsession with the secret headquarters at the Salvage Yard obviously continues because I certainly missed it in this book. The boys seemed to be somewhat out of their element here, and it shows. Of course, nothing can stop them from solving a mystery once they are on the case.
