The final chapters of this thrilling mystery uncovers a stunning revolution as you read America’s young detectives do what they do best!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!! What a great mystery and the best one yet! I really enjoyed reading this book. I felt so excited that I couldn’t stop reading at all!!!! Especially the part when Frank catches his brother just in the nick of time when Joe was about to take a 1,000 feet drop! This book also had some unfinished questions in my mind. Personally I really think that Franklin W. Dixon is a great author, but he still left a big chunk of puzzlement in my mind. For example, what happened to Chet in archery competition? Why was a mysterious character named Mad Maggie ever in this book? I think she should not have been a part of this book, because she had a ghostly voice and was apparently the bald grandmother of the bad guy. People have different opinions about different things, and I disagreed about what Frank did in this book. For example when he shouted out a random thing like, I think Mad Maggie is a robot!!!!! Even his dad says” Frank think before you say “He kind of reminded me of a guy in my 5th grade class named Kyle Wicker. Next is, that I went to a trip to North Carolina for my spring break vacation ,and I saw weather vanes just like the ones in the book! Isn’t that amazing, because I didn’t know that the weather vanes mentioned in this book were real! Also, my favorite character in this book was Joe. It was him because he was always very sweet to his older brother, and he is always very brave, and he always cheers people up. Like when Frank lost his favorite bicycle Joe said, Frank its okay dad is going to buy you a new one this book taught me an important lesson. It was bravery Frank and Joe were really brave in this book when they had to go in the cave. Well you know I can’t tell you how the mystery of the Pentagon Spy gets resolved, and I do know how tempting it is, but that is your job to find out. By the way this book is number 51 in the Hardy boys series, and if you haven’t read books 1-50 you can’t read this book yet at all. After you read all of these Hardy Boys books you will find out that not only his is the most thrilling, mysterious, breathtaking, a book with cliff hanging suspense. It is a just a plain regular book that is enjoyed by many people, but has such strength to not only make us read them, but make us remember it for ever!!!
