When the Hardy Boys take a winter vacation in Jamaica, Joe finds an ancient bronze death mask washed up near their beach house during a violent storm. Helping the Hardys and their friends in this bizarre mystery is William, a Jamaican boy, who flies to New York with startling news, only to be intercepted and held for ransom--the death mask Frank and Joe must rescue William, plunge into their father's airline-ticket theft case, and fly into a maze of danger in Africa.
i think it was a really good book. it had some action, and a lot mystery.
The Mysterious Caravan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I think this book was cool because I learned some French and Arabic, the mirage in the last chapter, the landfall of rocks in the same chapter, and where Chet might have thrown up. He was wrong about being poisoned, but it was sort of funny. Also, it did seem a little real, but now it dosen't, because the waiter was friendly, and probably would never poison anybody, unless nessicary. So the rest of the parts may have been four stars, but this book was pretty good. The plot especially. So if you're 8-11, read this suspense-filled book.
Mystery and Action

In this action packed mystery Frank and Joe Hardy face lots of dangers with the help of their friends Chet,William, Tony, Biff, and Phil. The Hardy Boys travel around the world from Jamaica to Bayport to Africa. Starting in Jamaica on a winter vacation, Frank and Joe Hardy are caught in a storm inside a little hut. Joe accidently finds a mask in the sand, that leads them on search through a desert in Africa for the Mysterious Caravan.When they were running from a rock slide it was so realistic, I felt that I was there, with my heart pounding in my chest. Like all of the other Hardy Boys books, this one has lots of suspense and entertainment. I highly reccomend this great mystery by Franklin W. Dixon.
One of the Hardy's best adventures!

This is a really interesting, twisty story where they run into a lot of danger and adventure, first in Jamaica, then Morocco. This is one of my favorite Hardy Boys stories.
