Books like The Mystery of Cabin Island

This was the first Hardy Boy that I read, and I am glad I did because years ago when I tried to read one of these Hardy Boy books there was just too much action for me to believe what was happening, that is, every time they turned around something bad was happening to one of them. So far, I have not found that to be true of the ones that McFarlane wrote, but I have not read them all."The long cold snap had caused rejoicing in the hearts of the young folk of Bayport. Although the ice in mid-bay was not solid, along the shore and in the numerous covers of the indented bay it was frozen to a safe depth. The dark figures of skaters sped like swallows in flight on the miniature natural rinks close to shore, and father out the speeding ice-boats with their billowing sails resembled huge sea gulls as they raced before the wind."Joe and Frank Hardy are on one such ice-boat, along with their friend Chet. It is almost the Christmas holidays, and they are looking forward to camping out. As they are sailing along they find Cabin Island and decide to stop and see the place. It is supposed to be deserted, but when they get off the boat they find foot prints in the snow, and as they begin to explore the island a stranger tells them to leave. The mystery begins.Note: You know what those boys need to have? Roasted hot dogs, hot chocolate, and roasted marshmallows. And now I will tell you how to make them:P.S. if you need chili, mayo or mustard, or even onions, bring them with you. Make a campfire in a safe place. Cut a branch off a tree and trim it; then sharpen to a point. Place a hot dog on it and roast it over the fire, turning it when needed. Do the same for a mashmallow, but when the marshmallow catches fire, blow the fire out. You just want to marshmallow to be mostly black all over. As for hot chocolate: Boil water on a campfire, and then pour a packet of cocoa powder in each cup.Note: Copyright: 1929
