Much like the other one, this book was a load of fun. I had a bit of a harder time getting through it, but I think that was just from reading two back to back. It definitely is a series I want to return to at a later date, though.

This one is was obvious how fast it was. It's only 150 pages and they didn't actually reach the commune and begin investigating until page 50. But for a kids book, it's exciting full of twists and turns and plot twists that were so exciting to me at age 11. I'd definitely recommend for kids who may be turned off of the original Hardy Boys because of how dated it is, but maybe not so much for adults.
