Operation: Titanic

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!

Totally awesome 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!

A Great Plot for an Awesome Book!

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!
