The Tower Treasure is the first of the Hardy Boys series. Frank and Joe Hardy are on the trail of the person who stole precious bonds and jewels. Their journey leads them to New York and back to their hometown of Bayport. They find the treasure in an old railroad water tower and end up being locked in by the Hobo who lives there.

I have read a lot of Hardy Boys books and this one is not the most intriguing. I rate this book a 6 out of 10.

This is a very suspenseful mystery about a man who steals a car. The man whose car is stolen is named Chet and he cherishes his car. Everyday he takes it for a ride or cleans it. In the book, two teenage brothers, Joe and Frank Hardy, try to figure out who stole Chet's car. The Hardy Boys track down tire marks and ask people if they have seen Chet's bright yellow car. Will Chet get his car back?

This story contains fun-filled adventures. I recommend this book to girls and boys who like mysteries and exciting books.

The Tower Treasure by Franklin W. Dixon is the first book in the famous Hardy Boys Series. The main characters are Joe and Frank Hardy, and their father, the famous Fenton Hardy. This story takes place in the small town of Bayport. Someone is stealing money from the famous castle on the east part of town. Fenton Hardy finds out that the criminal is the thief, Jakel. He tells them where the money is, but doesn't give them a detailed enough description for them to be able to find the money. Of course, the Hardy Boys will once again be able to solve their mystery, but how?

I love reading books from this series. It is fun to read about the quests of the Hardy Boys as they bring criminals to justice.
