Frank and Nancy Made 4 each Other!
u know this is by far the most exciting bookk i've read till now in the nacy drew and hardy boys super myteries. but i do think that nancy should leave ned and frank shuld leave calie cuz nancy and frank r so much alike and they r truly made 4 each other so caroline keene plz if u get upon this review do consider this cuz most of us wanty nancy/frank relationship and they shuld just 4get callie and ned.

TAKE MY WORD> THIS BOOK IS GOOD
i loved this book a lot. BEsides the nancy and frank aspect, there was a lot of action, bombs, knives, terrorsits etc..of course the nancy frank thing convinced me to buy the book, but i enjoyed the mystery a lot too. I also likes how nancy is portrayed in this book, not like in Operation titanic or royal revenge, she is very clever. also Unlke all other super mysteries, Frank's thoughts and feelings are portrayed deeper than all other characthers. And there are some funnny things and comments going on between the brothers.

Nancy and Frank Forever
I think that Nancy and Frank should dump their boyfriends and girlfriends and stay together. I mean they are obviosly perfect for each other. The best parts are when they almost kiss. But when they kiss, that was good too!!! This is the best book ever!!! ... Read more

Must read!!!! :)
This is definitely the best book in the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys series... :) Don't listen to anybody if they say it stunk, becuz it is really good! It has alot of Nancy/Frank stuff, and has TONS of action... I don't think you could get any more action in a book. I have read this book 4 times, and I still don't get tired of reading it! :) The thing that makes it really good is the close calls... and this book has ALOT of them! If you like a very suspenseful book, this is the one for you.

Shock Waves
It was an interesting mystery filled with excitement, romance and a good mystery. I would recomend this book to anybody who likes mysterys, treasure hunts, islands of mysterys and romance.

Joe's keys
I think the best part was when Iola's keys were stolen, and how Joe reacted. It was great because he'll never forget her, no matter how many girlfriends he has. I loved this one. ... Read more

This series is rather juvenile
I grew up with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys.I've read some of the original editions (which unfortunately reflect the sexism and overt racism of their pre-WWII origins), all but one or two of the re-writes from the 1960s and 1970s (which are better in those categories), and significant proportion of the 'new' versions.
One cool book!
This Book was really great. I loved the action and the scam. It was great. I really think that people 10 and up would enjoy this book alot.

A Wonderful Book
I rented this book from the library and read it in about two hours.I love the action and the suspense of the book.I would reccomend this book to anyone who is 10 or older. ... Read more

Islands of Intrigue -- Fabulous!
Among the rocky coasts, shimmering turquoise waters and ancient ruins of Greece you can rest assured that a mystery lies in wait for Nancy Drew and the Hardy brothers.
The review of Islands of Intrigue
As a big Nancy Drew fan I found this book exciting and one of the best books in the Super Mystery series. It has excitment and suspence, not to mention mystery! As Nancy finds herself and Bess( Nancy's best friend) inthe romantic islands of Greece she also finds herself a mystery as a newfriend of hers,Alexis Canstantine, is kidnapped. Well just as she alwaysdoes, Nancy sees this as a chance for a much enjoyable mystery. Meanwhilethe famous brothers, Frank and Joe Hardy, also find them selves in Greecebut for a different reason. They are there to follow a man accused ofstealing a dozen of U.S. super powered misiles. I give this book two thumbsup! It was an exciting page turner, you won't be able to put it down!

yeah it was good!
When are ya'll people gonna learn that the whole Nancy and Frank thing is utterly and completely over. They kissed how many times two thats right only TWO.Then after that they admitted that it felt very very wrong and very awkward. I mean they say that they LOVE Ned and Callie they just don'tlove other people they love Callie and Ned. So get out of your head thatthere is ever gonna be a thang going on between Nancy and Frank!Read more

Best One EVER!!!
This is the best book! in the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys uper Mystery. Although it does have some questions such as how did Nancy get in the FBI? I don't know. Ifyou put that all aside, its and action packed aventure. Betrayl, adventure, and..... murder are all in this one book. This is a must read! (if you have read this already, read Evil in Amsterdam. That's the second best Nancy Drew and Hardy boys Super Mystery. ALMOST came in first but Spies and Lies pulled through!)

I failed to suspend my disbelief...
To enjoy a work of fiction, you have to be able to suspend your disbelief.That is, the author has to give you a setting that you think could be plausible in this or some other world. spies and lies....
i really liked this nancy drew and hardy boys super mystery. it was intriuging and suspenseful. i especially liked the ending of it because it was hard to guess who the culprit of the crime was. joe and frank's mystery was not as good as nancy's in the story though. which is okay because a lot of times their mystery is a lot more suspenseful. as for the romance aspect a different guy other then frank liked nancy and i really want nancy and frank to hook up so i was disappointed but overall it was a smashing book. ...

It was.......GOOD........
I thought the book was very good but it made me mad how Nancy likes Mick rather then Frank. Frank didn't even seem BOTHERED by the looks Nancy and Mick gave each other. The mystery was a cool one but it wasn't exciting and it was kinda slow. This is spreading like bush-fire!
This book is the coolest ! It is not only the most excellant book that I've ever read, but the most thrilling, too! Nancy Drew had to keep up with the Hardy boys in the first part, but they had quite a job trying to catchher up in the end! GREAT BOOK, CAROLYN!

suspense
I think that Danger Down under is a real mystery.Nancy and George are in Australlia trying to help a friend of Nancy's old boyfriend, Mick, When they run into the Hardy Boys! The Hardy's are looking for a poacher who hasbeen killing rare animals.Nancy and George decide to help the Hardy's onthier case too!Together they come up with a long list of suspects. Couldall the suspects be working together? Could the two cases be linked? You'llhave to read the book to find out! ... Read more

Nancy and Frank please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great book!!! What is with the whole "I'm sorry Nancy but I'm in love with Callie I feel terrible about kissing you,'Thats alright Frank me too I'm in love with Ned" thing Frank and Nancy are meant to be!!!!! They are so not being true to themselves. Nancy admits that she is attracted to Frank practicly in everybook and in a question of guilt Frank proves that he is jealous of nancy going off with other men!!!! Anyway a good read as useual totally recorrmend!!!!

Really Really Good!!
I LOVED this book! It was really good. Nancy and the Hardys get called in to help with sabotage at a rich mountain resort.It's full of mystery,romance(LoL),and keeps you reading!I loved the part in the cabin & I hate that Ned showed up.It's a Must read for any fan!

The best one yet
I think this is the best Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Supermystery of all.I finally was able to locate it in December.I have been wanting to read it for years, but I never could find it.It has an interesting plot intertwined with just enough romance that it's not too mushy.Read more

Desperate Criminals
This book has some really desperate criminals in it. I thought the suspense and the things they got themselves into was neat. Like burning the cabin down with them in it at the end and going spulunking in that cave was wild!!! I really liked this book!!

Cool!
I thought that this book was cool, because of how they meet up and the stuff that happens to them, like burning that cabin down with them in it at the end and going spulunking in that cave. i really liked this book!!!

Nancy and Bess have joined Frank and Joe Hardy in mystery so action packed that you don't want to put the book down. Nancy have to find out who been stalking a movie star and Frank and Joe have to find the sabateur. What to know who did it well then read the book.

Exciting and VERY intruging!!

Tropic of Fear
Carolyn Keen's books are very well-done mysteries for younger audiences, but as you get older they get a little dull. Still, Carolyn Keen is very good at composing mysteries; she balances out the mystery well with good pacing, multiple threads that tie in together, and interesting concepts. I guess even as you get older, you can learn a few bits of trivia from the Nancy Drew series. The characterizations, however, are fairly stereotypical. (In other words, don't read this series for character development.)
Great book
I loved this book. It was interesting to see how Joe reacted to when he thought that Frank was dead. I thought it was rather understated.

If you can get past the beginning...
I haven't yet found a Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Super Mystery that I like.I had the misfortune of reading this one recently. A Great Read!
This book was the second I've read of the series, and it's one of my favorites. Nancy Drew and George Fayne travel to Oklahoma to help find a thief, and the morning after they arrive, one of their information sources is found dead! Nancy and George investigate the murder while Joe and Frank Hardy are searching for a missing truckload of uranium that has been traced to Altus, Oklahoma. Nancy finds that she has a lot of suspects, and Frank and Joe have a lot of people involved in their case too. Are their cases connected? And will they find the murderer, thief, and the uranium before an even more drastic event takes place? Carolyn Keene's Buried in Time is a great read, with many guesses, suspects, and even a secret romance! This book is great for anyone who is a fan of mystery and detective stories! This is definitely a must-read book!

A really good book!
This was the first book I read out of this series. I wasn't sure if I would like it.Once I read it I was hooked on the series. The way Nancy thinks about her feelings for Frank is great. There should be more romance between them in the series than there is. I've read this book twice, and the second time I liked it even more. I would recomend this book to anyone. ... Read more

Another Great Hardy Boys (Nancy Drew too...) Mystery!
I was a Hardy Boys fan, coming into the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew supermystery series, and seeing it was written by the Nancy Drew mystery series author, I was afraid the Hardys would get left out. Not the case! The author get's a perfect balance, and takes two, seemingly unrelated mysteries and binds them together to form a...SUPERMYSTERY! It's very well written, with all the excitement of Hardy Boys books that I enjoy. If you like Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew mysteries, you'll like them together.
This book is really good!!!!!!
Joe gets to take a spin inRobbie MacDonald's race car and Nancy saves a fashion model shoot from disaster.It's really exciting!!!!!!
