| 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Pirate Cannons!, By This review is from: The Secret of Pirates' Hill (Hardy Boys, Book 36) (Hardcover) It hardly seemed like I had started this story and it was over. Frank and Joe Hardy and their friends Chet Morton and Tony Prito encounter numerous ruthless criminals. The criminals are involved in scams, burglary, kidnapping, and even attempted murder! The criminals in this story are among the most vicious the Hardys have ever met.The excitement begins immediately. Frank and Joe are scuba diving when they encounter a diver with a deadly aim. Frank and Joe escape, but their escape is narrow. Soon afterward the boys encounter a man named Bowden who asks the boys to search for a cannon called a demiculverin. As the boys search for the cannon they encounter others also looking for cannons and the others are very dangerous, injuring the boys and their friends more than once. As the investigation continues criminals break into a local museum and steal swords. Unfortunately for the criminals the sword they really want is at the Hardy's home. The crooks...

However overall this was a pretty good volume. Set in Bayport the brothers are hired to find an ancient canon buried on Pirates Hill by Bowden who winds up being foe - not friend. Keeping the reader guessing throughout the book as to Bowden's innocence or guilt this volume drags you from chapter to chapter. Great exterior artwork on both the original & revision. RATED B-  You just have to love the title!, By This review is from: The Secret of Pirates' Hill (Hardy Boys, Book 36) (Hardcover) The idea of diving and exploring the ocean alone drove me to read this book as a kid, and I wasn't disappointed. I read the entire series as a kid, and loved it. It chronicles two brothers and their friends adventures as they solve mysteries of all imaginable kinds. I only learned as an adult that Franklin W Dixon was a pen name used by several different authors, but the series had some great stories. I still enjoy a good mystery.Paul Buckner, author of "From Broke to Broker, and other stories of finding financial freedom." |
