This is an excellent beginning for the series. It introduces Frank and Joe, all their friends, and their parents, all of who will be continually seen in the books to follow. It also shows how the brothers get started on crime-fighting and how they know so much about solving cases. Not a lot of danger, but still a good read. There's a lot more about them in school in this book than later ones.

My 10 year old son was completely crushed when he finished the Percy Jackson series. On my dad's suggestion, I checked this out. Wow--first chapter--the motorcycle driving boys (who's father is a detective/lawyer) get run off the road. After that--there was no turning back. My son loves the old-fashioned language--(i.e. jalopy) he thinks it's hilarious.

Great books to read to my growing young kids. The chapters are very manageable and the action moves along nicely so there is always something to look forward to. The kids are really enjoying the stories.

The HardybBoys have grown up and have retained their ability to hold boys' attention with their awesome adventures. My son won't read any other series, but devours these like candy. He highly recommends them to all boys of middle school age!

When helping my grandson from Japan to read English, we started reading "The Tower Treasure" together. Even though it was written almost 100 years ago, we both enjoyed it and look forward to continuing the series.

I would highly recommend these books to any child that likes good clean books. I read them as a child and bought them years ago for my child. Knowing how much we both enjoyed them, I purchased the books again for my grandsons. Therefore, three generations in our family have now grown up with the Hardy Boys entertaining us.

This is the first book of an incredible early teens series; great to generate interests for young people to start reading at that age. Especially in hardcover, classic book to keep around for memories.

I love The Hardy Boys Mysterys. I initially got them for my grandson, but am reading them first. Once I start, I can't seem to put them down. Great books. Can't wait to hear what my grandson thinks of them.

I ordered these for my oldest son for Christmas and expecting paperbacks as the title describes them. They are nice, come in a box and are hardcover! yeayy . . . So nice, and unchanged from their original printings. *For those unfamiliar: they are great good moral/problem solving reading for youngsters (my son is 8 but I think they are aimed at more like 12-15).

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!

I first encountered the Hardy Boys books in the fourth grade. For my 10th birthday my mother bought me 2 Hardy Boys books. I collected them for several year thereafter. If it wasn't for the Hardy Boys novels I would probably still be reading comic books.

Bought this for my 9 yr old grandson for Christmas stocking stuffer after remembering how much I enjoyed them in my youth (almost 70 yrs ago). He enjoyed it so much he asked where he could get more - a definite sigh of a great book ?

Just finished 're-reading the first Hardy Boys book "The Tower Treasure" by Franklin W. Dixon, published back in the 1940s, and gave it 3 stars. Written for teen-aged readers during a by-gone era, but still it was fun reading about the two sleuths and their "chums."
