One Magicly Chilling Adventure!!!... by David ...

I don't remember all that happend because I read this book a long time ago. All I remember is the exciting parts. When in the fog a wierd cult was looking like they were worshiping the moon. And also the part when the boat was suddenly starting to sink and didn't know why; 'till later. Also the part when they were questioning a man when suddenly an arrow strucked the table that they were sitting in. It was most interesting when they explained the way the cults on the island was arranged. There were only two witch cults on the island called the white witches and the black witches. Of course the white were the good ones. ...

An Excellent Mystery

Mr. Hardy asks Frank and Joe to go to England to help an old friend when his witch museum is robbed. This book has a very intriguing mystery; it's exciting and it grabs your attention right away. The book features witches, curses, a strange disappearance and an old castle. Frank and Joe travel to London, Stonehenge, Ireland and the Isle of Man, but the book never sounds like a tour guide, as in many of the other high volumes when Frank and Joe travel. This is one of the few higher hardcover editions with which the reader won't be disappointed.

Classic, well-written Hardy Boys book

A classic!! Well-written masterpiece with witches, curses, museum robbery, etc. One of the best Hardy Boys books that will keep you flipping one page after another until you finish it!

A great Hardy Boys book!

Mystery leads Frank and Joe to England and Ireland in this classic Hardy Boys adventure. This has got to be one of my favorites from the Hardy Boys series. It's filled with witches, curses, and giant dogs.
