wonderful book

Been colleting this series for some family members and they just love them !!!

Great Airport Mystery

You can keep saying that this book is cool! Franklin W. Dixion really showed a good plane story. This was my fourth book, and I just couldn't stop dreaming about flying a plane. Someday I'm going to be sure I do just that. Anybody who likes ghost stuff, action, and planes should read this. And as for the ghost, it didn't seem real near the ending. I knew Clint Hill might have lived, like some plots on Scooby Doo. But, ghost or not, it's a teriffic book that's worth reading.

Unique

It's amazing how Franklin W. Dixon can always come up with new plots. It was amazing how there is always something new. It was amazing when they were caught by the storm stranded on a airplane near the island. It was amazing how they were always seeing Clint Hill's ghosts footprints. It's eerie, suspenseful, and fun. It's a great book so read it!

This book is very good!

This book is one of my favorite Hardy Boys mysteries. It is about when frank and joe Hardy are driving and they take a shortcut but its a dead end.But all of the sudden something wierd happens a plane flies over their car and it is soooo low that the wheels of it skidded on the top of there car.So they are left unconcious for about 1 hour then when they reach concious they are in there car with it turned over and they are in a way trapped. After a few seconds of mind problems they get out and go into a unknown area to them to look for poles. BUT a MAN shows up with a shotgun and after some negociating he gives them permission to look for a pole. But when they get home they find out he is an ex-convict named: Bush Barney while going through their famous detectives fathers files of his convicts and cases. So you'll have to read the book to find out the exciting conclusion.

Interesting, entertaining novel

This tells the story of a group of thieves who steal platinum. The Hardy Boys track the thieves from Bayport to Ile de la Mer, an allegedly uninhabited island, to a mountain hideout in Montana. While solving the case they also find a hidden cave, the ghost of a dead pilot who haunts his guilty former partner and a plot that incorporates airport workers on every level. Thrilling and entertaining. Good for people of all ages.

This book is fast moving and great.

This book is about a man called Clint Hill who supposedly drowned in an aviation accident.Instead he was cared for by some natives and eventually got back home.The man who was in the aircraft with him took the only life raft and left Clint to drown because he wanted Clint's job.When clint got back home to the United States he sent some eerie messages over the radio because he wanted to scare the other man,Len Peterson. This is a great book and I reccomend it to anyone between the ages of 10-15.Although this was published 67 years ago it's still relevant for the nineties.ENJOY:))
