I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. So after my obsession with Nancy Drew started to dwindle (mostly because I had read all the ones I could get my hands on), I moved on to The Hardy Boys because that was the natural next step,

duh. Love the Hardy Boys (though they weren't quite as amazing and Nancy Drew and her friends). Show Less

I feel kind of bad giving this 2 stars because I'm so far outside the age range for this one but I do think the best kids books can be enjoyed by anyone. This book was just so boring to me. When I was a kid, I wanted to read more Hardy Boys books because I thought they were more interesting
The plot was all over the place in this book. Frank and Joe would be sent all over the place for seemingly exciting reasons and then it would end up being completely irrelevant to the mystery. this whole book is just full of wild goose chases that were so repetitive. I wish this plot was just a little more streamline, I think the book would have been so much better that way.
this was an interesting return to a book series that I loved as a child and I am glad I read this to see what sort of things I read as a kid but I doubt I'll be reading any more books in this series. Maybe I'll re-read a Nancy Drew book next.

compared to Nancy Drew. Reading it now, I find Frank and Joe to be so boring. They had no personality outside of being people who solve mysteries and none of their friends are really that interesting either. The plot was all over the place in this book.
