I have now read 23 of these wonderful books by Franklin W. Dixon, and The Crisscross Shadow ranks among my favorites. There are the usual 'Bad Guys' here, but these crooks are particularly rotten to the core! And it is this crookedness - as opposed to the goodness and caring of the Hardys - that leads to several (literal!) cliff hangers within this story.And this is what I love about Dixon's books: They display to their readers a time when goodness, thoughtfulness, honor, respect, and caring were not seen as something to mock, but something to hold up as a model for (particularly young) members of society.My wife and I have given the first 15 of these books to some friends who have just given birth to a beautiful baby boy (it'll be a while before he can read them, of course!), and the remaining 8 to our seven year old nephew. We hope that these books will be able to transport them - in some small way - to a time when the virtues listed above were something to be cherished and honored. Sure, these times weren't perfect (just look at all of the rotten bad guys!), but at least Dixon's characters like the Hardys and their friends bring a counter-balance to the 'bad stuff'!In a time when folks like Tim Tebow are openly made fun of, and Reality TV "celebrities" who seem to live only for themselves are thought of as, well ... "celebrities!", it is refreshing to read stories about characters who actually stand for something. Now if only we could have more of that in real-life!

My husband used to read the Hardy Boys mysteries when he was young, so for a joke, I bought him a few for Christmas. Turns out that they are actually a good read, even for adults! He has read one so far, and I have read 1/2, and LOVE IT! I probably would never admit it to our friends- we would probably be laughed at, but I sure will continue to read them in private! I'm sure younger kids would enjoy them too.

It was a great book. The intensity made you want to keep reading it. The Crisscross Shadow definitely deserves a 5 star rating. I would recommend this book for a boy or girl anywhere from 6-14. It was a great book and I think whoever likes Hardy Boys should read the Crisscross Shadow.

I chose this rating because I love The Crisscross Shadow. I like the fact that it has to do with Indians. I don't know who I would recommend this product to.

Awesome book amazing words it is just A W E S O M E great book har har har had

Great book, absolutely loved it!!!!!!!

One of the best hardy boys out there full of fun and solving if your a fan of the hardy read this one

The way the authors wrote this series, you learn a little more about the main characters from book to book. In this book we learn that Chet Morton, Frank and Joe Hardys' best friend, was the great-grandson of Ezekial Morton, who was honorary Chief Wallapatookunk of the Pashunk tribe. We also meet the Ramapan tribe, which the author described as being 500 miles from Bayport. However, in real life it appears that neither the Pashunk nor the Ramapan tribes actually exist. The boys learn that someone is trying to take Ramapan land for a reason that they ultimately learn at the climax of the story.We also learn that Frank and Joe Hardy and their best friend Chet Morton play football for Bayport High. Bayport High must also be a very small school, because Frank, Joe and Chet play on offense and defense. There is a mistake in my revised edition of this book that caused me to re-read a couple of pages. During the play against Hopkinsville, the text reads "Joe...a step ahead of the Bayport pass receiver." Joe is on Bayport High's team, and the team was playing against Hopkinsville, so he would have been trying to get the ball from the Hopkinsville receive.Anyway, the mystery kicks off with a suspicious man trying to sell Laura Hardy, the boys' mother, a leather key case with the letter "R" surrounded by a design. The Frank and Joe Hardy observe the man through the window of their house trying to steal the key to their father's file cabinet. Unfortunately, when the boys confront the man their mother explains that the man was transferring keys to the new case. However, since this is a Hardy Boys mystery, we know this man is up to no good. The boys soon learn that the man, Breck, may be a criminal.The boys learn that the symbol on the key case is that of the Ramapan tribe. The Ramapans are located in the woods about 500 miles from Bayport. It appears that they use suitcases hauled through the woods to deliver their hand-made crafts (seriously, that is what the books says - I had to laugh at this part). The Ramapan chief asks Frank and Joe to solve the mystery of where the deed for their land was buried. The previous chief buried the deed to protect it, and as the chief was dying he described the location of the deed to be where the crisscross shadow was located.Things heat up for the Hardys as they uncover clues one-by-one. The boys and their best friend Chet discover that there is a gang out to find the deed. The gang is very dangerous, and tries to kill Frank and Joe by pushing them in front of a train, and members of the gang attempt to push them off a cliff as well. Why is the gang trying to hard to take the Ramapan's land? That is the heart of this mystery!While the boys are trying to solve the Ramapan's mystery, the story also remotely follows the boys' father, Fenton Hardy, as he battles against saboteurs. The entire family tries to keep their spirits up as there as Fenton appears to be in danger and then missing. At one point the boys encounter someone who looks and sounds just like their father, but this man appears to be injured and defeated. Things look grim for Fenton, Frank and Joe Hardy more than once in this book.The boys resolutely follow the trail of the criminals and the clues, and eventually find a crisscross shadow, but they still have a hard time finding the box containing the deed and a valuable dagger. The criminals are right behind them and try to discover the location themselves. The criminals finally force Frank and Joe to point out the location of the deed to the criminals. The reader will have to discover what happens next.This book is quite bumpy in terms of readability. Laura Hardy is quite annoying when she tells the boys that they are behaving badly, only to find out later that they are right. Given that the boys have behaved very ethically for 31 previous books, her behavior appears unwarranted and should have been out of character. While the description of the Native Americans was actually decent, the description should be updated. It is unlikely that any Native American land is so remote that it can not be reached by road. Lastly, the football descriptions should be updated as well. Even small schools usually have a separate offense and defense, with very few players play both, especially in back-to-back plays. These problems make this book slightly difficult to read and keep the rating in the 3 star range.The Hardy Boys series is recommended for ages 8 to 12 because the series is relatively tame for the previous target audience of ages 10 to 14. This particular book is a good fit for that age range. Older readers may find it difficult to understand the social differences between this book and our current era, of which there are numerous examples throughout the book. However, a collector of the series will want this book regardless of the faults.
