Summary: BUY THIS FOR YOUR KIDS!
Review: A scream shatters the night! What a sensational way to start a creepy mystery for the 3 Investigators. The Mystery of the Green Ghost (#4 in the series) is yet another classic mystery thriller from the mind of the late Robert Arthur. If you are a parent who is trying to get your child to pick up a book - hand them any copy of a Three Investigators book and you'll be amazed. Kids are drawn into the spellbinding stories so much that they'll actually get out an atlas to see exactly where Rocky Beach, California is! (I did.) If you are an adult who wants to try something fun and nostalgic - dig out The Mystery of the Green Ghost (or any other 3 Investigator book for that matter) and be transported back to your youth. I am currently re-reading all the titles and am astonished at how well the stories hold up after all these years! I am also currently purchasing the re-released Robert Arthur issues for all my nephews! Let's hope that Random House does the right thing and re-releases the ENTIRE SERIES! LONG LIVE THE THREE INVESTIGATORS!

Summary: Alfred Hitchcock and the three investigators the green ghost
Review: I loved this book when i was a kid and avidly read all the three investigators books that I could find in the Library. I am so glad that with kids on the way that I can still get some of these books for my children to read. They are probably the most remembered books from my childhood.

Summary: Green Ghost, PLEASE!
Review: I only rated this book 1 star because I didnt like it, then I skipped to the end and I liked the plot a little. I could totally tell who the bad guy was. By the way I used to think of the 3 investigators like it was real! I don't think that many people would think that there was a real ghost. You TOTALLY won't get scared of this book (Ha, Ha, Ha!)! This book really disappointed me after I put down the book(I didnt read the whole thing). I was wondering if anybody could write such a bad book with these extreme characters. Trust ME don't read this book 1, it may dissappoint you. This book is a horrible book!!

Summary: Among the Best of the Series
Review: I read these books as fast as they came out when I was younger (and even into my teens, truth be told). I feel sorry for the previous reviewer who hoped the books would "stay lost" ... I have a feeling they have trouble reading comic books.This book (Green Ghost) was certainly among the best of the series ... you were kept guessing to the last as to exactly what was going on. I hope these books are someday reissued for kids today.

Summary: A perfect mystery series for any young reader
Review: I was in fourth grade when I first read this book. It spurred my interest in reading. Three high-school age boys use an abandoned trailor, in a salvage yard owned by one of the boy's Uncle, as the headquarters for their private investigating firm. Think Hardy Boys meets Scooby Doo, without the slapstick of a talking dog. The boys always find a creepy mystery to solve. It appealed to the part of me that liked Saturday afternoon horror movies and adventure stories. There is nothing too gruesom here for a young reader. And the mysterious adventures would appeal to any young boy with a taste for ghost stories and monster mysteries. This is the seventies worthy pre-cursor to the Goosebumps series. This book is the first in a series of over 20 books. And the titles by Robert Arthur, the original author, are the best. It is a shame these books are out of print. They are perfect for any boy age 9 to 14.

Summary: A mystery Classic
Review: The Three Investigators was one of my favorites as I kid and I still read them now at 40. The Green Ghost was my personal favorite in excellent series--scary, exciting, and well-plotted--few adult mysteries can make the same claim these days. Lots of great details like the gray pearls make this one stand out, while Jupiter and the gang are great as ever.

Summary: Books should be like this
Review: This is a great book (as good as the rest in the series). The kind of book that is part of the solution, not part of the problems of the world... Excellent for kids and adults.

Summary: My kids love these books!
Review: To update my previous comments, though I still haven't gotten this book in the series, I did obtain #1 (Terror Castle) and #6 (Skeleton Island), and I was pleasantly surprised that my boys, aged 10 and 8, both love these books as well as Animorphs! This was a consistently exciting and entertaining series. Mr. Spock-like genius Jupiter Jones, research specialist Bob, and athletic but nervous Pete were the original ghostbusters, in sneakers, hired by the famous English scary-movie director Hector Sebastian (read as "Alfred Hitchcock," who played this role in the series' original run) to investigate various haunted locales and mysterious phantasms to appear in his films. The stories are well-written and age-appropriate for juveniles. The characterizations are strong (as opposed to the Hardy's, who I couldn't tell apart), the dialogue is witty, and almost every chapter ends with a breath-taking cliffhanger. Quite simply, if you know a young man aged 8--12 who reads a little bit, I can almost guarantee you'll make him an avid reader with one of these wonderful books. One warning--be prepared to be bugged by the young man to buy more books in the series!
