The Hardy Boys Books : The Mystery of the Chinese Junk (Hardy Boys, Book 39) Reviews
| 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Thank Goodness For Franklin W. Dixon!, By This review is from: The Mystery of the Chinese Junk (Hardy Boys, Book 39) (Hardcover) It's amazing how time changes people's perspective on things and as they say, the cream always rises to the top. Now, as I approach the big 40, I've started my inevitable nostalgic journey and I've just come across this old edition of Dixon's classic that I first got at the age of 13.Looking back, I realise now what a great debt I owe to what has now become institutions of teaching for my English education and for my love of reading. Sesame Street and the Electric Company from the world of television and my public library card and the works of Franklin W. Dixon from the world of books deserve much of the credit. I am not surprised at how with the amazing exception of The Electric Company the others are still alive and kicking today for a new generation of kids. I've read many of the Hardy Boy's adventures but this edition #39 is the sole volume that I've still got on my bookshelf.

Soon the boys encounter several mysteries. Who is Dr. Montrose and why does he seem to be associated with women are robbed of their securities? An even better question is why are so many people interested in the Chinese junk, and what possible connection could those people have to Dr. Montrose. Or perhaps there is no connection. Join the Hardy Boys and their friends as the sort the good guys from the bad guys and, as usual, solve all the mysteries. This story is slightly better than average because the story has aged well. There are a few anachronisms, but some of these are explainable. For... Read more mystery and history, and adventure all at the same time, By This review is from: The Mystery of the Chinese Junk (Hardy Boys, Book 39) (Hardcover) Sneaking around, discovering what other teens or adults were up to, solving crimes, ahh, I loved this series.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.
