They decide to explore lonely s Cabin Island but are chased away by a surly stranger (Hanliegh). On the way back, they nearly come to ruin in an accident with another iceboat manned by Tad Carson and Ike Nash, a pair of obnoxious bullies.

My favorites were The Secret of Wildcat Swamp and Hunting For Hidden Gold, but Cabin Island was a very well written book. The plot was complex and interwoven. It was like several stories, all interconnected were being related simultaneously. I cannot rate it a 5 star as there were several other books deserving of that rating. But Cabin Island rates a strong strong 4 star rating. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful The Hardy Boys Get the Medals, By This review is from: The Mystery of Cabin Island (Hardy Boys, Book 8) (Hardcover) The Hardy Boys are out for their eighth adventure, this time on an island in Barmet Bay. It is winter and the boys have received permission from Elroy Jefferson to stay at the cabin he owns on Cabin Island. The boys received this permission because they recovered Mr. Jefferson's car in "The Shore Road Mystery."The boys and their friends Chet Morton and Biff Hooper go to Cabin Island to check it out. They journey on an ice boat the Hardy Boys built themselves. A brief side note. I had always thought of ice boats as being small. The Hardy boy's ice boat is large enough to hold four people and enough supplies to stay for a week on Cabin Island. I think it is safe to say that the boat is quite large. Once on Cabin Island the four friends head off to see the cabin. The soon discover footprints and a surly man chases them off the island. The boys visit Mr. Jefferson to ask about the man. Mr. Jefferson believes it is Hanleigh, who has been asking Mr... Read more |
