The Sign of the Crooked Arrow by Franklin W. Dixon

Mystery
"Ka wham whoosh! There goes an arrow? We need to call the Hardy Boys!" This is a good book. This is one of my favorite parts. It's when Crowhead ranch was a flame. People were working till their hands were raw. I liked it because I wanted to find out what happened. At least it was a accident. My other favorite part is when it said Frank fell to the ground when an arrow whizzed passed. At first I thought he got hit like his Dad, but he ducked. That's why he fell to the ground. I like THIS part because he doesn't get hurt after all. If you like Mysteries, you will like this book. In the end, you'll feel like reading another Hardy Boys book.

Do you hear a siren? Well, that might mean trouble! It's time to call... THE HARDY BOYS by Franklin W. Dixon. Mr. Hardy, Frank and Joe Hardy are the detectives. Frank is 18 and Joe is 17. One of my most favorite parts is when they here a siren for the first time. I like this part because they're trying to find the direction it's coming from. But then something really strange happened,.... A wallet fell out of the sky with more than $200 in it! When I read that part, I was like "Wow, where did that come from?' It was cool to think what would happen. I recommend this book to people who love mysteries. After reading any of the books for your first time, you'll want to read more! This is my second one I finished (#30) and the book I'm starting now is: The Mystery of the Chinese Junk #39.
