Summary: Alex's book review
Review: I like like this book because it is very exciting especially when the Hardy Boys got locked in the water tower and they found the treasure. I also liked when they fell through the trap door. I like all the Hardy Boy's books and this is my favorite! It's Neal's favorite too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting, thrilling book
Review: I like this book, along with "Hunting for Hidden Gold", which, I personally think, is better. This book is also great, and I feel like telling you if Robinson is going to be let free or not...I don't like spoiling things!... I recommend this book, with Hunting for Hidden Gold. I only have read this one and am always done with HFHG.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hardy Boys
Review: I liked this book because it had a very decriptive story. It had scenes that made you feel like you were there. It also taught you how the boys started out in becoming detectives. This was a very good book.

The best part of the book was the begining. The boys are taking a letter to town. A man in a car came flying up behind the them. They had to get off there motorcycles and press up against the wall. This was a good part.

The climax and the setting were hard for me to understand. I did not understand where the best point was. I did not understand the setting either. This was difficult to find in the story. It kept jumping from one place to the other. This was the difficult parts for me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No.1 Hardy Boys
Review: I loved this Book at first I didn't think I'd like the hardy boys, but I was wrong. This book got me started on a great series. Every night thats all I read. And I never Run out of books because there are a million. I'm trying to read all of them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Adventure books for kids
Review: I read these books as a kid, they were written starting from the nineteen twenties. Our twelve year son old enjoys them now, and I expect that our eight year old will enjoy them in the future. They're a good alternative to Harry Potter, where magic and power over grownups plays the dominant role (the Hardy Boys more or less compete in skill with their father as detectives, although parents rarely appear in the stories). The Carolyn Keene mystery stories (Nancy Drew) are also equally good for both boys and girls, and could have been written by the same author! Even better, if you can find them: Ellery Queen Jr.'s mysteries (The Brown Fox Mystery, The Red Chipmunk Mystery, and three others).

How I got onto these books: my mother ordered and sold them from our office equipment business in a small Kentucky town in the fifties.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Tower Treasure
Review: I read this book as my 14th. I think it was really exciting, including the water tower part, the unpredicted treasure, which is gardening stuff, and is a funny moment in a way. And I like the trap door incident. Also, the old tower seems interesting, and I'd like to visit it. But the other parts of this book were as good as the ones mentioned. So if you're 8-11, read this exciting first book by the best mystery author, Franklin W. Dixon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Mystery Starter!
Review: I remember the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew from my grade school days as the books I took out of the library over and over again. My 7 year old is a great reader. For his 8th Birthday I decided to spend part of his gift money on the Starter Set. We read The Tower Treasure together mostly, at least four chapters he read on his own, and in three days of his continual prompting, the mystery was solved. Great Book! Great Introduction into mystery novels for his age! The best benefit is that right away, he picked up the next book, The House On The Cliff and began reading it all by himself. In two hours he had read 8 chapters and couldn't wait until the next day to read some more. Though many words used are not the vocabulary of an 8 year old. With the first book, we gave him a yellow highlighter to signal out any words he didn't understand so that we can discuss them during the next days home-schooling session. The result was an instant vocabulary increase. Of course, no one talks or writes the way this book is formatted. I mean, the families actually speak nicely to one another (like in our family) and good children's authors and story's are rare (my opinion) but there is no greater benefit than having a good reader who still likes the Berenstain Bears and is engrossed in a non-picture book mystery his parents can trust (though we'll read them too, when he lets us. lol)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't Read This Book
Review: I would never read another book by this author because the mystery is took hard to figure out by myself. I like mysteries that I can solve myself but this one was too difficult. Also, it was strange because the Hardy boys rode motorcycles and they are too young. The book was first written in 1927 and maybe things were different back then. But since this is the year 2002, some things in the book are too old-fashioned

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Mystery Story!
Review: I'm a seventh grader in Michigan and I did a book report on the Hardy Boys, The Tower Treasure. Here is my review. My favorite part of the book was when Chet's Jalopy was stolen. The book got interesting when Red Jackley confessed to stealing Chet's Jalopy and robbing the tower. Jackley confessed because the police had him on the run, he was fatally injured in a train accident and about to die. This is a book that will keep you interested.

Rating: 5 stars
