My Hardy Boys #7 Review

I think this book is a great read for everybody, young and old.I especially liked the part where they meet the retired sea captain in the cave,and at first he is cool with Chet, Biff, Joe and Frank, then they return and he gets all aggressive with them.To sum it up, this book, The Secret Of The Caves is an awesome book.Go read it!

The Secret Of The Caves

I really like this book because I love to go exploring, I like caves, and cave mysteries are great! This was the 7th book I read and it's book number 7! I was really surprised about that! In the book, there were lots of storms, and I like camping in caves when there are storms. I recommend that you read this book for total mystery and action.

Wow

I liked it. I enjoyed when they're driving to Kennyworth and a trailer with a crane on it almosts hits them. I also enjoyed it when a bunch of college kids put them on the train tracks that got my addrainlan going. Good book.

GREAT BOOK

The Hardy Boys are at it again, and going into caves is no place to fool around as they will find out. I couldn't put it down. I love books about adventure in caves. Another book about underground adventure I recommend is, Steward's "Tales, of Dirt, Danger, and Darkness."
