Lists with This Book. This one starts with Frank and Joe out for a run in The Sleuth, their sleek motorboat. A sudden storm whips up and while the boys are fighting to keep the boat going and upright on the waves, a weird wailing siren sounds, another boat nearby flashes its lights, and they hear a plane's motor overhead. Suddenly a large wallet hits the water near the boat and Frank manages to grab it before it sinks beneath t The Hardy Boys are back for their thirtieth adventure in The Wailing Siren Mystery Suddenly a large wallet hits the water near the boat and Frank manages to grab it before it sinks beneath the waves.

It's chock full of money--two thousand dollars once the boys are safely back on land and have a chance to count it. They turn the money into the police, but their adventures aren't over yet. The next day their friend Chet Morton has a truck full of camping gear and high-powered rifles which belong to his uncle stolen while he stops for a snack. They trace the stolen truck to the North Woods, but lose the trail before it begins to get dark. So the boys hook up with Chet and Biff and Tony for a camping trip in the woods to look for the truck and any other clues they might find.

Fenton Hardy is currently working on a hush-hush assignment involving missing money, missing planes, and the selling of arms. Could all these mysteries be part of a bigger plot? The boys will face kidnappers and ravenous wolves; be knocked out and tied up and nearly drowned; trace stolen money and airplane parts; and search out the source of the wailing siren--all before the mystery is finally wrapped up. Another fun adventure with Frank and Joe. Not the strongest of the series--it relies even more heavily than usual on coincidence, but the boys do some real detective work tracking cars by their tire marks and following faint signs and trails through the wood.

It's a fast-paced, easy read and just the kind of mystery adventure that kids should enjoy. First posted on my blog My Reader's Block. Please request permission before reposting. Feb 27, Spencer Byrne added it.

Great mystery and great brother teamwork! So much cool action, danger, and excitement! It's about impossible to put down to have to go do anything else. Intriguing mysteries, adventure, intensity, chasing clues, just so much in the book, but not too much.

Very good flow to the mysteries. Love reading of the various regular characters, the Hardy family, the Hardy brothers girlfriends, and their friends. A lot of great scenes throughout the book. A reader looking for a lot of thrilli Great mystery and great brother teamwork! A reader looking for a lot of thrilling action and smart investigating will really enjoy this book - just like me! For more details about what I loved about the book, including favorite quotes and scenes, but without spoilers, please check out my complete review Hardy and Drew Mysteries.

Definitely a Hardy Boys book recommendation. Chet, Biff and Tony had been a part of the story near the beginning, but then they were summarily dropped. This was definitely the original publication, as Fenton handed each of his teenage sons a pistol to defend themselves because this was a rough case.

If that boggles your mind, then this is not the book for you and you need to find one of the updated versions. Still, not a bad story and it is always interesting to me anyway to read the original and then find one of the new versions later. Jul 14, Hannah Belyea rated it liked it.

With their father working a case about counterfeit, a Bayport pilot missing, and their camping trip more focused on surviving and searching for criminals than relaxation, Frank and Joe are about to be in over their heads when they get their hands on fake money falling from the sky! Dixon delivers one of the most fun entries in the series with this enjoyably suspenseful adventure! I was hoping this HB book would end up being 5-star for me but sadly, to be honest, 3-star.

I loved all the brotherly love and Frank and Joe's braveness, except I didn't like that it was slow. Also, it was a bit confusing. View all 6 comments. Jun 04, Jack rated it really liked it. Ate these up as a kid and usually got them as gifts for birthdays, Christmas and other events. This edition would be quite dated now and I believe they have updated the books. The author was a pseudonym for a plethora of writers who contributed to this series. Feb 15, Ethan Hulbert rated it really liked it Shelves:
