Donovan Ingram’s Reviews > The Sign of the Crooked Arrow > Status Update

This book allows me to MAKE PREDICTIONS about how the book will end. I believe the blonde man who made an appearance at the rodeo event is not the man who shot at Joe and Frank in the forest. Although, he is likely an accomplice to the mysterious arrow shooter. I also believe that the cowboy who is skilled with a bow is either arrow charlie or a relative somehow. These are all just hunches, but I might be right.

The ANTAGONIST of this book is the mystery of the crooked arrow. The crooked arrow is a symbol that is an important clue to solving the mysterious events. It all starts when the Hardy boys are on their way to solve a case. The problem is that a man had put a car that has no license plate or anything else to identify who the car belonged to. Since then, they continued to travel and uncover clues to the mystery.

When people read, they MAKE CONNECTIONS to their life in their head. For me reading this book, I made connections to my dads many injuries when Fenton Hardy, the dad character, got hit by an arrow. The drugging device in the cigarette reminded me of how my grandpa used to go outside to smoke in his car. That car smelled like smoke for a long time until he quit. Connections are made in my head every chapter I read.
