Very good condition

I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. So after my obsession with Nancy Drew started to dwindle (mostly because I had read all the ones I could get my hands on), I moved on to The Hardy Boys because that was the natural next step, duh. Love the Hardy Boys (though they weren't quite as amazing and Nancy Drew and her friends). ( )

Frank and Joe get a hawk in the mail with no instructions and don't know what to do with it. They go to their friend's farm with the hawk and it takes down a carrier pigeon carrying two rubies. Frank and Joe are smart, brave and curious. They decided to solve the mystery themselves. They find that they got the hawk from Washington D.C., also where their father works. They find out that the rubies are ransom for an Indian prince. Along the way they talked to many people and investigated to solve the mystery. In the end Frank and Joe jumped a fence to get to the Indian prince. In that situation I would have gotten the police immediately.
This book is the best in mystery history. I loved this book. It is a thrilling adventure with a mysterious twist in it. If you like a good mystery you will love this book. I also like this book because it sounds realistic. It sounds realistic because Frank and Joe make mistakes. ( )

Een boek uit mijn jeugd herlezen.
Hoe slecht kan het. Dat ik nooit goede opstellen heb kunnen schrijven in die tijd verwondert me niks.
Slechte stijl, inconsistent verhaal, slecht nederlands.
Gedurende het verhaal wordt alles wat nodig is er ter plaatse bijgesleept.
Spannend verhaal dat wel.
Vraag me nu af of de vertaling zo beroerd is of dat het orgineel ook van een tenenkrommende kwaliteit is ( )
