What do You think about The Haunted Fort (1965)?
Frank and Joe Hardy have been invited by Chet's uncle to solve the mystery at an art school just across the lake from an old French and Indian Battle Fort. When art from the Prisoner-Painter's collection that hold a secret to find hidden treasure goes missing, the boys must find the thief or thieves behind it all and find the legendary treasure hidden within the fort. I just have a soft spot for all things written back in the good old days. This book reminds me a lot of Nancy Drew's mystery stories. I think it was a little fast paced and there seemed to be something tragic or ground-breaking every chapter. I guess that's how you have to keep the audience interested. It was a good book. I enjoyed reading it.

tThe book that I read in class was The Hunted Fort. I thought it was pretty good book the thing that I liked about it was that there was a lot of action parts threw out the book it was interesting and it made me not wanting to stop reading it. One of the parts that I liked the most was the car chase it was like it was really happening. Another part that I like was when they where at the lake and the were like looking and watching over the fort then all asundin this person just like floats a crossed the lake from the fort.tWell over all I really liked the book it wasn’t to long and it wasn’t to sort. On a scale one threw ten I would give it a eight. I am going to try to read more of there book and maybe I will even buy some more. I would suggest this book to other kids that like action and thrill.

I debated giving this book 3 or 4 stars because it's so formularic but decided to go for the higher rating since this Hardy Boys book was better than the others I've read. Frank and Joe Hardy travel to Crown Lake in New England with their friend Chet to a summer art school where Chet's uncle Jim is an instructor. Someone is stealing famous paintings of the nearby old French fort ruins. The fort itself seems to be haunted but the reader will know that that's because there are rumors of a hidden treasure there that was hidden centuries ago. The perpetrator of the crime was a surprise.
