The Tower Treasure #1 (The Hardy Boys)

There is politeness in every aspect of this familiar mystery. It was a pleasure to turn back the pages of history 90+ years and read of chums and roadsters and a dusty old mansion. If you have a fondness for days gone by and the innocent times that once were, you will love this clever story and book!

The Tower is super nice/cool. I really like this book. I can’t wait to read the next one. By my grandson, Nolan.

Bought this for my 2nd and 3rd grade Grandsons to read. This series and Nancy Drew were the first two series I read as a child. The Tower Treasure is an excellent book for these age groups and holds the boys interest and is still relevant today. Besides it pretty special that the book holds my interest after having each grandson read it to me 68 years after I read it!

The mystery was great until the last part where the bad guys were knocked out especially Oscar Smurf. I really liked it how Oscar Smurf was not as good as two teenage boys!

I was excited to stumble upon this Respun Classics rewrite of The Hardy Boys, and the difference is night and day from the very first page! In the very first sentence you can see it’s no longer just the dad who’s the detective, now the mom and dad are part of a famous detective team. It’s been a while since I read the original, so I can’t track all the changes, but it’s a book I’m genuinely happy to have my daughter read (and it’s great for boys too, of course). Amazon seems to mix all the different version of this book, so it’s not always easy to find the right one, but you'll want the Respun Classics edition for sure!

The Hardy boys set out on another of their very intriguing mysteries to find a criminal who stole a red wig that he used in a robbery from a rich estate. They assist their father who is himself a great detective and collecting all the clues and sending them to the police. The adventure has a few twist and turns that you least expect but this is indeed one of the best old-fashioned mysteries around. I have started my grandsons and granddaughters reading this series and they have loved it.

Really good book gives a lot of detail. A lot more than a movie. Just a really good book. Should read

I haven’t thought about the Hardy Boys in decades. I was hoping to read what would be a happy flashback to a time in my youth. But. It’s not quite the way I remember it. This time The Tower Treasure presented itself as a fascinating relic. Quaint. An ode to different time, a time that no longer exists. The dialog is stilted, the plot simplistic, and the mere mention of their mother had me confused…I don’t recall a mother being part of these books. She’s mentioned a couple of times in passing, loath to have anything to do with ‘detecting.’ Still. It had its moments; I didn’t mind reading it.

I’m a senior and it was great when I was a kid and now it’s great for my grandson. It has passed the test of time!!

this book was really intresting from the beginning. I could imagine it all in my head. I love mystery books but this one was just great! I can't wait to read the second book. : )

Come tutti gli altri libri degli Hardy Boys sono più adatti ai ragazzi che alle ragazze.Sono in inglese e non esiste la traduzione, e quindi coloro che vogliono leggerli devono necessariamente saper leggere in inglese. Ai miei figli di sette e nove anni sono piaciuti molto e sono decisi a farli leggere ai loro amici al ritorno a scuola. Anche se quasi antichi sono scitti in maniera semplice. Trasmettono spirito di avventura e buoni sentimenti. Sono delle pietre miliari nella letteratura americana per ragazzi, li consiglio veramente

Took me back to the books I read 50 years ago, which were already old then. Quick read for an adult and a rollicking adventure for young adults, who will envy the freedom kids user to have 100 years ago.
