About the author
Robert Arthur
346 books298 followersRobert Arthur (1909-1969) was a versatile mystery writer born November 10, 1909, on Corregidor Island, where his father served as a U.S. Army officer. He is best known as the creator of The Three Investigators, a mystery book series for young people, but he began his career writing for the pulps, and later worked in both radio and television. He studied at William and Mary College for two years before earning a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Michigan. In 1931, he moved to New York City, where he wrote mysteries, fantasies, and horror stories for magazines like Weird Tales, Amazing Stories, Detective Fiction Weekly, and Black Mask throughout the 1930s.
Later, with David Kogan, he co-created and produced The Mysterious Traveler radio show (1944-1952), earning a 1953 Edgar Award. He and Kogan also won an Edgar, in 1950, for Murder By Experts. In 1959, Arthur relocated to Hollywood, scripting for The Twilight Zone and serving as story editor and writer for Alfred Hitchcock Presents, while ghost-editing numerous "Alfred Hitchcock" anthologies for adults and children.
In 1963, Arthur settled in Cape May, New Jersey, where he created The Three Investigators series with The Secret of Terror Castle (1964). He wrote ten novels in the series before his death in Philadelphia on May 2, 1969. The 43-title series, continued after his death by writers-for-hire working for Random House, was published in over twenty-five languages and thirty countries. (Originally branded as "Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators", Random House dropped the Hitchcock name from the series after Hitchcock's death.)
In June of 2024, Hollow Tree Press reissued Robert Arthur's original ten novels as a sixtieth anniversary edition. Those editions have end notes written by his daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth Arthur and Steven Bauer, and Hollow Tree Press is also publishing a twenty-six book New Three Investigators series written by Arthur and Bauer.

This was a fairly paint by numbers mystery. I did not guess the culprit's identity, but that of course does not mean anything. After some time elapsed, I find myself reading this series. It was good fun reading this particular one. Nothing more.

AH&T3I Update: 6 read, 22 hardbacks to go!
I love the Three Investigators. I also love the Hardy Boys. However until this book, the two book series are quite different. For example, all three of the Three Investigators are 15. None of them have a driver's license or even a learner's permit. To get around to the places they need to investigate, they either need to ride bikes, use the car they won the use of for 30 days in a contest, or ask a couple of workers at the Salvage Yard, owned by First Investigator Jupiter Jones' aunt and uncle, to drive them around in one of the old beat up trucks from the salvage yard. All of the stuff that the Three Investigators have comes from fixing up recycled junk, like their walkie-talkies, or an old printing press, or even their secret headquarters made out of a damaged 30 foot mobile home. Even their office furniture was singed in a fire before the boys got it. All three boys work at the Salvage Yard for extra cash and to pay for a telephone in their headquarters. Sometimes work gets in the way and they cannot investigate a case for a couple of days because of their work at the salvage yard. Jupiter is the smart one, but not so athletic. Pete is just the opposite: athletic, but not as smart and gets spooked easily. Bob stands in between the two extremes: he is somewhat athletic, but he also works in a library and operates as the research and notes-taker of the group. Almost every adolescent boy can relate to the Three Investigators in some way because most boys can see themselves in the shoes of the Three Investigators. The Three Investigators solve cases the old-fashioned way: hard work and then Jupiter deduces the solution from a bunch of strange clues that seem to puzzle everyone else.
In contrast, Joe and Frank Hardy are 17 and 18 years old respectively. Old enough to have a driver's license. and they put those licenses to good use. The Hardy Boys own their own motorcycles, a motor car, a motorboat called the Sleuth, and have access to an airplane owned by their famous detective father. Early in the series, the Hardys needed to call on the pilot of the plane to fly them where they needed to go, but later on we learn that both boys are licensed pilots and can fly the plane. They are also great fencers--a sport that every boy knows! Money or time does not seem to be a problem for the Hardy Boys as anytime they need they can fly off to South America or Mexico or wherever they need to go. And both boys can, and sometimes do, solve the case. Of course, things usually fall into place just like magic for the Hardy Boys--just like the perpetual summer break that they seem to be on. They just always happen to be in the right place at the right time and poof! They solve another case. There is something just a little more elite about the Hardy Boys. They act maybe a little more like superheroes than actual teenage American boys.
But then we get to the Secret of Skeleton Island, the sixth title in the Three Investigators Series and the two series become somewhat entangled. The Three Investigators are sent to star in a movie on the other coast. They fly expenses paid to the Atlantic from the Pacific. No bike use here, and the car from the contest is back home. Also, no secret headquarters. So they get stranded on a lonely island. No wait, they are rescued. No, they get stranded again. Dang, trapped in an impossible situation. Poof, they find things that no one has ever found before them. Poof again, and they are rescued again. With about 10 pages left to go in the book, boom! There is the solution to the mystery. It all seems very Hardy Boy-ish for a Three Investigators story.
Now this is still a very good book and it is enjoyable to read. People love the Hardy Boys just like they love to go to the movies to watch Marvel Superheroes battle it out or Batman fight Superman or whatever other superhero story may be out there. It can be, and is, fun stuff. Yet, the Three Investigators series carved out a slightly different niche in the first five books of the series. This sixth Three Investigators book simply takes a different course and mirrors the Hardy Boy pattern more than it does its own pattern set up in its own earlier books. With that said, enjoy the Three Investigators in the Secret of Skeleton Island. It is a fun book to read!

Leider hat mir die Sprachleistung von Anna Thalbach nicht sehr gut gefallen. Besonders die Jungs sind schwer auseinanderzuhalten. Aber sie gab sich generell schon Mühe. Der Fall selber hat mir aber gut gefallen, wenn auch schnell klar ist, dass der griechische Junge nicht der Bösewicht sein kann. Ein erkälteter Justus ist einfach köstlich zu erleben.

Sehr abenteuerreich und ein erkälteter Justus auch immer unterhaltsam.

داستان اصلی کلا با فیلمی که با همین عنوان ساخته شده، کااااامل فرق داره.
یکی از بهترین های مجموعه آلفرد هیچکاک و سه کارگاه بود.

Ich glaube am besten hat mir gefallen, dass Justus erkältet ist und sich ärgert, an den meisten Spaßigen Sachen nicht teilnehmen zu können. Interessant fand ich auch noch, wie unsympathisch Peters Vater dargestellt wird, auch wenn das wahrscheinlich einfach unter klassische elterliche Strenge fallen sollte. Oh, und natürlich die ganzen vielen viel zu altmodischen Ausdrücke die sich durch die ganzen alten Bücher ziehen.
Den Fall selbst fand ich nicht so spannend, er hat mich irgendwie nicht so richtig mitgenommen. Natürlich kannte ich ihn ja schon durchs Hörspiel aber auch so ist einem eben die ganze Zeit klar, dass der griechische Junge, den alle außer den drei Detektiven verdächtigen, nicht der Schuldige sein kann.

Another good adventure with the three investigators. This one had a haunted amusement park on Skeleton Island. With a name like that, its got to be good, right?
We had the usual ghosts along with some thieves up to no good. Another boy their own age was introduced, this time a Greek lad. It seems as though having an international boy their own age show up is a trope in this series (Spanish, Japanese, Greek etc.) which is fine as it gives the stories a metropolitan flavor.
As I've said before, nostalgia fuels this series, so my ratings are probably a bit biased. If you like YA mysteries though, this is a great series to read.

Meh, pretty boring. The entire thing hinges on the boys being Just That Special and putting two and two together while everyone else inexplicably hasn't (). The "gosh golly!" language was also dialed up for some reason so the book really showed its age.

2008 review - The only hardback in my collection (‘liberated’ from Junior school), this mystery has always appealed to me - I liked the idea of going away, I liked the fairground and in the Roger Hall line drawing of Sally, I discovered one of the scariest things I’d ever seen (TJ & I used to dare one another to look at it then go upstairs on our own!). The story plays out well, though the ‘mystery’ itself is fairly clear, but it has a nice idea of atmosphere and the scuba sequences are very well handled. A cracking read.
2013 update - the 2008 review still holds up (and Bob & Pete work well on their own with Jupe laid low by a cold), though I should mention that it's quite a spiky book at times, with flashes of Arthur's social comment. For instance, the adult characters (including Mr Crenshaw) are generally dismissive of the boys, Chris (a well realised character) is treated terribly ('they don't like foreigners!') and Fishingport (the main location) is a sad, depressed town full of people desperate for hope (a parasite in the oyster population has decimated trade in the region). This doesn't detract, indeed it adds an unusual air to the mystery, but it was something I'd forgotten between the re-reads.
2018 update - I completely agree with the 2013 update, a well played out mystery (even if it’s solved fairly easily) with some great set-pieces (I love the Sally sequence and the bit below The Hand is very well done) and social comment.

'The Secret of Skeleton Island' (The Three Investigators #6) by Robert Arthur.
Rating: 4.0/5.
Review:
The Secret of Skeleton Island is the sixth book in the once popular Three Investigators series. Although I remember reading this story earlier during my school days, my memories are muddied due to the passage of time and the altered plot of the German movie adaptation of the same story.
I must confess that this book feels somewhat different from the previous installments in this series. The book veers off from the traditional T3I formula and tries to emulate the Hardy Boys plot to a great extent. Everything goes wrong for the three investigators in this book – they get stranded multiple times, Jupiter gets a cold, the team gets separated due to unexpected circumstances – and there's a miraculous rescue at the end. All of which, if you are a staunch Hardy Boys fan like me, might recognize as plot elements similar to multiple Hardy Boys books.
The mystery that lies central to the plot is predictable as well. It was easy to decipher the motive behind the thefts, the identity of the culprits, and the location of the hidden treasure right from the first few pages of the book. However, I don't think one should go in expecting the book to have an engrossing mystery. Rather, it works well as an adventure book with a slight dash of thriller elements.
I had planned on dropping a few stars from the rating considering the predictable nature of the plot and the weak mystery elements. However, when I looked back at my time (re)reading this book, I was thoroughly engrossed with it and consumed it in a single sitting. It would be unjustified if I gave it a low rating for technical reasons because it does its job well. Considering I, as an adult, was hooked to the story despite its straightforward and predictable plot, I'm sure it would have been a thoroughly engaging read for its intended audience of young adults back in the day it was first published.
“See?” Bob said. “When the tide rises, this cave gets full of water. If we wait for the tide to turn, we’ll be under water.”
The rising water gurgled as it lapped around them. Nobody had anything to say.
They knew Bob was right.
Rating: 4.0/5.

اس سیریز کی ترجمہ میں یہ خاص بات ہے کہ کرداروں کے نام بھی مقامی کر دیئے ہیں اور ساتھ ساتھ واقعات کو بھی مقامی مقامات سے جوڑ دیا ہے۔ اس جزیرے کو بلوچستان کے شہر گودار کے پاس دکھا دیا اور سارے کردار اور بول چال اتنی عام فہم کر دی کہ لگتا ہی نہیں ترجمہ کیا گیا ہے۔ بچوں کے لیے عمدہ سیریز ہے۔ معلوم نہیں فیروز سنز نے اسے پبلش کرنا کیوں چھوڑ دیا۔ داستان امیر حمزہ سے یہ سیریز مجھے بہتر لگی ہے۔ وہ ابھی بھی شائع ہو رہی ہے۔

My favorite one so far!

This series is just cute. I figured out what was happening before the Investigators did, but Jupiter did have a cold that slowed him down and I feel fine :)

I loved the Greek element in this one ;)

A Word from Alfred Hitchcock WARNING! Proceed with Caution! THE ABOVE WARNING is meant for you if you are of a nervous nature, inclined to bite your fingernails when meeting adventure, danger, and suspense. However, if you relish such ingredients in a story, with a dash of mystery and detection thrown in for good measure, then keep right on going.I had read some good things about this series so I thought I would try one. This one title was on kindle for $3.99 so I thought I'd give it a whirl. The books are really rather expensive, so unless they put quite a few more on kindle, this will probably be my last of this series as well as the first. It was a good little mystery aimed for 9 or 10-year-old boys. Definitely a younger audience than my favorite juvenile series, Judy Bolton. In addition to the decent mystery as well as the boys hunting and finding gold doubloons (always a welcome ingredient), there was some good humor and cute banter between the boys.
Also, it had some good messages about prejudice against immigrants.
“Chris didn’t seem like a thief to us, Dad,” Pete put in. “He seemed like an all-right kid. He has a sick father to help, and he sails round looking for washed-up treasure, but that’s nothing against him.” “The boy’s right,” Chief Nostigon agreed. “I know Chris has a bad reputation, but he’s a foreigner and most folks in this town are pretty clannish. They’re ready to believe anything bad of a foreigner.” “Just the same, I have my suspicions of him,” Mr. Crenshaw declared. “Now that I think of it, it could easily be a boy stealing our equipment. Maybe he’s hoping to sell it to help his father.”And this is from the father of one of the investigators and supposedly a "good guy."
“Gosh, I was hoping we could persuade them Chris didn’t do anything,” Pete said. “But they won’t even listen.” “Adults don’t like to listen to kids when their minds are made up,” Bob observed.So true, Bob. Except people don't like to listen to anyone when their minds are made up. As true then as it is now.

The Three Investigators are off to Skeleton Island off the southeastern American coast. Pete Crenshaw's dad is working for a movie company who is using the island's abandoned amusement park for scenes in their latest film. The island, long known as a pirate headquarters in days gone by, is also said to be haunted. Not, as you would expect, by a pirate. The ghost is that of a young woman who was electrocuted while riding the park's merry-go-round during a storm. The rumors of the ghost hampers the company's efforts to get men to help renovate the park rides for the film. They have also had a number of pieces of equipment stolen or damaged.
Alfred Hitchcock sends Jupiter, Pete, and Bob out to the Island, ostensibly to provide young divers for a short film the company also wants to do--but also to investigate the mystery of the island. They know something is up right away when the man who meets them (supposedly from the company) takes the boys out the the Skeleton's Hand and abandons them. The Hand is separated from the main island and is made of reefy bits that look like a hand from air. They're rescued by Chris, a young Greek boy, who many on the island seem to blame for the troubles experienced by the company. The boys believe Chris to be unfairly suspected and are even more determined to discover what's going on in order to clear their new friend. Jupe is laid low by a cold, but still manages to spot the clues that lead to the solution.
A fun, light mystery--even though it's easy to spot what the secret of Skeleton Island is. There are a few very good scenes--from the cave at the bottom of the Hand to Chris's rescue of Pete & Bob at the end. And the boys face some very real dangers from very real villains. It all adds up to another great adventure with the Investigators.

Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators, The Secret of Skeleton Island by Robert Arthur (Book #6)
If you gave me a choice, you can have the entire book collection, 1st editions, what would it be?
Mine would have to be these books. I'd choose hardbacks, 1st editions, but not mint. I'd rather have the ones that have been read but in good condition.
I loved these books as a kid and still love them.
The feel of the book. These hardbacks, kids books from long ago, felt different. The artwork is wonderful. I never felt like these stories treated young readers, like I was, as simpletons, or written so G-rated and saccharine sweet you's get diabetes.
They aren't adult, but it was different. These stories were all the adventure a young boy like me craved. And it seemed to go hand-in-hand with Scooby-Doo and the gang.
All those wonderful titles, Skeleton Island! The Whispering Mummy! The Mystery of the Green Ghost! The Secret of Terror Castle!
Man! How much better can you get???
I always wanted friends like Jupiter, Pete, and Bob.
And their clubhouse was in a junkyard? Where you could build all kinds of things? A secret entrance?
Sign me up!
This was another fun mystery. The boys get sent to islands in the Atlantic where someone is sabotaging a movie set and they are sent to investigate undercover.
There's the mystery of the ghost haunting Skeleton Island. The missing sunken treasure by the old pirate "One-Ear."
And of course, peril at every turn!
A wonderfully fun read!

Another decent entry in the series. Easy reading and good time pass.
The story involves the mystery of a haunted theme park in a small island. When a film company went to the island for shooting, strange things started to happen and three investigators were called to find out the phantom.

For once my memory didn't let me down. This is a 'Three Investigators' novel, the sixth in the series, but it has only some of the 'Three Investigators' mindset and feels a lot more like author Robert Arthur was wondering if it could be moved more into a 'Hardy Boys' direction. The answer is that it could, because this is admittedly a fun read, but just because it could doesn't mean that it should. It feels shorter, less substantial and a sort of holiday for everyone involved.
The Three Investigators live in Rocky Beach, just outside of Los Angeles, and their adventures thus far mostly took place in that vicinity. Even when they didn't, like 'The Mystery of the Green Ghost', which starts there but shifts up the coast to northern California, the approach seems highly familiar. There's action, sure, but also a lot of deduction and a darker sense of danger that's usually horror adjacent. There's also acknowledgement that these are kids, whether it's through them being barred from officially being part of investigations to a frequent need for help from adults. For a start, they're not old enough to drive, so rely on Jones Salvage Yard workers Hans and Konrad at the wheel of one of the yard's trucks or the use of Worthington and a gold plated Rolls Royce which Jupiter can use for thirty days as a competition prize.
Those details are mildly preserved here but in loose ways.
For a start, while they start out in Hollywood, in the office of Alfred Hitchcock, they fly out at his request only a chapter later to Atlantic Bay on the opposite coast, to snoop around for him under the cover of them being underwater actors in a short film. It seems a little fair because Pete's dad works in the movie business and is already there, working to render a rollercoaster safe as a set for a thriller called 'Chase Me Faster'. The catch is that equipment is going consistently missing and they can't figure out why, even with security stationed on site. So all the usual accoutrements of these cases, from their headquarters to the recurring supporting cast, are quickly left behind.
There's plenty of action, more than usual in fact, because they're rumbled before they even get there and so find themselves stranded on a remote part of Skeleton Island in the middle of a storm. They're rescued by an immigrant kid called Chris, who pretty much steals the book for me; but that just begins a cycle of being stuck or stranded somewhere and rescued again, usually by Chris, until the final mystery is solved. Maybe we could consider the underwater scenes action too, but really they're just background flavour to the location, which is the most prominent character in the book. There isn't a lot of deduction, because Pete and Bob are distracted and Jupe picks up a cold on the way, and the only solution to both mysteries is clearly telegraphed.
I mention two mysteries, which is becoming a standard requirement for this series. One of them is the reason they're there and that's not a tough one. The other is the older secret of Skeleton Island, which is the location of the notorious pirate Captain One-Ear's treasure, which he dumped somewhere unknown before the British hanged him, leaving only a cryptic clue for future generations to puzzle over. Needless to say, that's precisely what distracts Pete and Bob, who spend much of the book sailing around with Chris, who is finding occasional doubloons at the bottom of the bay.
This sounds pretty exotic and that's backed up by just how pivotal the location is. Skeleton Island looks rather like a skull from the air, with another section that looks like the outstretched fingers of a hand. That's pretty cool, but the place is also haunted, a local girl called Sally Farrington having been foolishly riding a merry-go-round years ago when it was struck by lightning, and, ever since, she's continued to be a frequent vision there attempting to finish her ride from the other side of the grave. That's why the park was abandoned and Pete's dad and his team need to repair the rollercoaster enough to be used as a film set. It's also exactly the sort of horror adjacent detail that this series is known for but it's sadly explained away and dismissed.
Chris himself fits the mindset of the series too, not only because he's a sort of guest who serves as a welcome supporting cast member for this one book alone, but because he's also a young foreigner in America who can bring a different ethnic background to play. He's Christos Markos, born in Greece to a sponge fisherman who was afflicted by the bends during a particularly ambitious dive, the locals not using SCUBA equipment to aid them, just impressive breath control and a stone to help them drop swiftly. A cousin in the U.S. brought them over to fish oysters in Atlantic Bay but that industry is suffering because the oysters have been afflicted by a red bug and so Chris and his father want to go home. He's hunting doubloons to make that possible. However, the production thinks he's the thief and they may have evidence.
As an adventure novel, this is a lot of fun. It may be short but it's fast-paced and packed with danger, set in an exotic location and with pirate treasure as a constant backdrop. I read this in a relatively quick sitting and it's invigorating. Suddenly I want to go SCUBA diving and see what I can find. As a mystery, however, which is, after all, the point of the series, it's pretty lacking. It's been a long time since I last read this, so I didn't remember the solutions to either mystery, but I figured out the core mystery as soon as the hint was dropped, because it seemed completely obvious, and the location of the treasure from Captain One-Ear's clue. Sure, this is only a children's mystery and I ought to be able to see through them easier than an Agatha Christie, but surely not that quickly, especially after something as intricately constructed as 'The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot'.
And so it really depends what you want from this book. If you're a 'Hardy Boys' fan and like the action and the exotic locations, then you might get a kick out of this, even though it's aimed at a slightly younger audience. I would say that it does all the same things and perhaps in an even faster-paced manner. If you're more of a fan of the 'Three Investigators', then this feels like a diversion, a kind of a welcome holiday from the usual Rocky Beach locations, but a holiday you also want to be over so you can get back to that usual, because that's what you want out of the series.
Next up, a book I don't remember well at all, except that 'The Mystery of the Fiery Eye' refers to a jewel.

The Three Investigators live in Rocky Beach, just outside of Los Angeles, and their adventures thus far mostly took place in that vicinity. Even when they didn't, like 'The Mystery of the Green Ghost', which starts there but shifts up the coast to northern California, the approach seems highly familiar. There's action, sure, but also a lot of deduction and a darker sense of danger that's usually horror adjacent. There's also acknowledgement that these are kids, whether it's through them being barred from officially being part of investigations to a frequent need for help from adults. For a start, they're not old enough to drive, so rely on Jones Salvage Yard workers Hans and Konrad at the wheel of one of the yard's trucks or the use of Worthington and a gold plated Rolls Royce which Jupiter can use for thirty days as a competition prize.

2008 review - The only hardback in my collection (‘liberated’ from Junior school), this mystery has always appealed to me - I liked the idea of going away, I liked the fairground and in the Roger Hall line drawing of Sally, I discovered one of the scariest things I’d ever seen (TJ & I used to dare one another to look at it then go upstairs on our own!). The story plays out well, though the ‘mystery’ itself is fairly clear, but it has a nice idea of atmosphere and the scuba sequences are very well handled. A cracking read.
2013 update - the 2008 review still holds up (and Bob & Pete work well on their own with Jupe laid low by a cold), though I should mention that it's quite a spiky book at times, with flashes of Arthur's social comment. For instance, the adult characters (including Mr Crenshaw) are generally dismissive of the boys, Chris (a well realised character) is treated terribly ('they don't like foreigners!') and Fishingport (the main location) is a sad, depressed town full of people desperate for hope (a parasite in the oyster population has decimated trade in the region). This doesn't detract, indeed it adds an unusual air to the mystery, but it was something I'd forgotten between the re-reads.
2018 update - I completely agree with the 2013 update, a well played out mystery (even if it’s solved fairly easily) with some great set-pieces (I love the Sally sequence and the bit below The Hand is very well done) and social comment.
2021 update - completely agree, an excellent book.
2025 update - why do I forget how gripping this is between re-reads? Thoroughly enjoyed this.

In this book the Three Investigators solve a case rather far from home.
Bob and Pete play prominent roles in this book, often getting into trouble without Jupiter.
Chris is the 'character of the week' and he is very well written. You really feel for him when he talks about how his dad is ill and the situation they're in. Their friendship with Chris kind of puts the boys at odds with some of the adults which was an interesting dynamic.
And finally, I love that Jupiter can put all thought of interesting mysteries out of his mind whenever he learns one of his friends are in danger. It's of the great qualities he has.
The fact that the boys like and respect each other is a great quality that the series as a whole has.

I have read these guys when I was young. In the same company as the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew era. Yah I m that old. Back to this book, it was a fun read going back to your past with the 3 investigators. The plot felt the same as it does with such books, I can't believe I was so gullible back then, when I thought the plot was just unbelievable... bt then again, it isn't such a bad book to read. I enjoyed myself running alongside the boys as they try to discover the secret of the skeleton island...

A haunted amusement park on a coastal island that used to be a base for pirates – what’s not to love?

I read a few of these when I was younger and always rather enjoyed them. It's always different reading such stories when you're older but I still really enjoyed this addition to the series.
Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw and Bob Andrews are three boys who have decided to start a detective agency, aptly named The Three Investigators. They use 3 question marks as their symbol and are willing to solve any mystery, riddle or puzzle. Jupiter is the brains of the operation, Pete the muscle and Bob the researcher. The boys have their own secret Headquarters - (a portable office that's been hidden under many piles of junk) that has secret entrances and a phone, use chalk (each boy a different colour) to leave directions, clues and messages to each other - and even a driver (Worthington) with Rolls Royce - courtesy of a competition Jupiter wins to have a chauffeur for 30 days. I'm not sure how long they actually have the car for - I don't think I ever read any without it but I haven't read all of them, so who knows.
The Secret of Skeleton Island reminds me of Treasure Island - even though it's not really even close to being similar beyond treasure and having a history of a pirate. Anyway, the motto for this book is everything that can go wrong does. The boys get stranded multiple times. Jupiter gets sick. Pete and Bob get stuck. Their new friend Chris gets framed. It's one thing after another. I enjoyed the mystery although I did see it coming - I vaguely remember reading this one as a kid.
Still overall an enjoyable read. I'll definitely be reading (and rereading for some) the rest of the series. 3.5 stars.

In der Hörspielreihe bereits Folge 18, ist "Die Geisterinsel" eigentlich erst die sechste Folge der Original-Buchreihe und bietet mal wieder eine typische Schatzsuche, bei der es diesmal unter anderem um verschollenes Piratengold geht. Das ist aber nicht alles, denn zudem müssen die drei Detektive Justus Jonas, Peter Shaw und Bob Andrews noch eine Diebstahl-Serie aufklären, das Geheimnis um einen mysteriösen Geist lösen und eine Filmproduktion retten. Ach, und ein alter Bankraub ist da ja auch noch. Volles Programm also, doch das schreckt das neugierige Trio natürlich nicht ab...
Punkten kann die Folge auf jeden Fall mit einem der stimmungsvollsten Schauplätze bisher, nämlich der geheimnisvollen Geisterinsel, welche der Geschichte eine tolle Kulisse verpasst, die auch akustisch gut eingefangen wird. Inhaltlich ist die Episode wie erwähnt ziemlich vollgepackt, sodass beim ersten Hören vermutlich nicht gleich alle Zusammenhänge verständlich sind und wiederholtes Hören auf alle Fälle ratsam ist – was eingefleischte Fans selbstverständlich ohnehin machen werden. Aus heutiger (Erwachsenen-)Sicht ist die Folge natürlich nicht besonders unheimlich, trotzdem liefert diese Schatzsuche kurzweilige und atmosphärische Unterhaltung und liefert eine schlüssige Auflösung, die aber zum Teil auch wieder von der Naivität der drei Detektive lebt.

trio detektif diminta untuk menyelidiki kasus di pulau Tengkorak yang terkenal dengan kisah penampakan hantu carousel. di pulau tersebut akan diadakan pengambilan film dengan setting carousel & coaster di taman bermain yang terbengkalai, sayangnya kru film tidak dapat menjalankan proses shooting karena mengalami banyak gangguan, banyak terjadi sabotase dan pencurian. keadaan makin dipersulit dengan adanya cerita hantu yang membuat kru kesulitan mendapatkan bantuan karena penduduk lokal ketakutan. kedatangan trio detektif pun tidak disambut dengan ramah oleh penduduk lokal, mereka menganggap para pendatang asing ini datang untuk mencari dan menguasai harta karun peninggalan bajak laut.
ini buku kedua yang aku baca setelah misteri kurcaci gaib, menurutku buku ini lebih menarik, cerita petualangannya dapet banget, apalagi pas adegan Pete, Bob dan Chris menyelam mencari harta karun. sayangnya Jupe diceritakan sakit dibuku ini, jadinya nggak bisa ikut menyelam dan bertualang. agak sebel dengan para orang dewasa yang sukanya meremehkan pendapat anak2, kayaknya kalau dari awal mau mendengar cerita dari trio detektif dan Chris mungkin masalah bisa cepat diselesaikan. suka cara author memberikan penyelesaian untuk kasus kali ini, rasanya epik banget

Wow!, hace como mil años que leí esta serie de libros, y me da gusto haberlo en Apple Books.
Un viaje a la nostalgia...la primera vez que los leí, fue igual en versión digital...PERO EN PALM!!
Mucho antes de los iPads y los smartphones de pantalla completa, era la epoca de los BlackBerry y esa Palm era una agenda digital!! Ahí leí muchísimos libros, con esa mini pantallota, me aventé el 6to libro de Harry Potter, los libros de Sherlock Holmes, Ágata Cristy y esta colección.
Así que... sí, voy a releer estos libros ya en forma digital más óptima, con pantalla definitivamente más cómoda...solo un problema...Empecé por el 6to libro...y ya había iniciado cuando recordé que la aventura del Castillo del terror era la primera.
Bien, este libro es muy padre, excelente recomendación para los que desean iniciar con la lectura, para los peques de la familia que buscan historias de aventuras.
Jupiter, Peter y Bob tiene muchas historias que contar y esta es increíble...viajaron aún lugar con una increíble leyenda y cuando menos se lo esperaron se vieron involucrados en la búsqueda de un tesoro.
Es muy padre poder vivir a través de ellos todas sus pato aventuras mientras conocemos más de los personajes.
Vamos a ver que nos espera en la siguiente aventura...en orden esta vez
