The Viking Symbol Mystery (Hardy Boys, #42)

By Franklin W. Dixon

Book Overview

The Canadian Northwest beckons Frank and Joe Hardy to mystery and adventure. It all starts when a French-Canadian trapper, Caribou Caron, makes a historical and valuable find--a carved rune stone left by Vikings centuries ago near Great Slave Lake. When Caribou Caron attempts to sell the artifact to a representative of a museum, it is snatched by thieves. Like the intrepid Vikings of old, Frank and Joe, with their close pal Chet Morton, set off on a perilous quest in the Northwest Territories to recover the valuable artifact before the robbers can decipher the symbols leading to the buried treasure.

The best Hardy Boys book

This book is the kind that you want to read again and again. It is about Frank and Joe who take a trip to Canada on a case because someone robbed a man of a valuable stone left by the Vikings. Carabou, a french canadian trapper was robbed of 1000.00 in cash from the sale of the stone. Will Frank and Joe find it?

The Viking Symbol Mystery

This book is pretty good, because I like Canada, it contains some good plane action, and I laughed at the buffalo stampede. I'd be frozen for a day if I found a Viking rune stone. Another funny part in the story is when Chet wants to eat the bread in the cave, and his appetite brings total sucess of having solved half of the mystery. I can't imagine Chet eating rocks, or he'd eat his teeth too! In the end it seems that it's as easy to catch the theives as finding the rune stone. This was my 6th book and I really enjoyed it, as usual.

The Viking Symbol Mystery

The Viking symbol mystery is typical of the series full of mystery and suspence. As one chapter ends your left wondering what will happen next so you begin reading the next chapter and before you know it you've read the entire book in one sitting.
