THE GHOST AT SKELETON ROCK was the best book I ever read since THE MYSTERY OF CABIN ISLAND, because it started out with an interesting storyline, and then the action started immeadiately, where it seemed to lead up to the conclusion wonderfully. At the end, it was really breath-taking, and I was really happy at the ending. So all said, this was a great book, and I think you should read it, too. Enjoy!

The main setting is San Juan that is a capital in Puerto Rico. Calypso Island is north of Puerto Rico. The story starts in the United States in a city called Bayport. Calypso Island is little and covered with shrubbery. It is small enough that an Indian tribe, a mansion and a hill just fits on it. San Juan is a town. Bayport is a big city by a bay. Most of the story takes place on Calypso Island. Frank is dark haired, smart, brave, and clever. He is also alert, athletic, investigative, eager, and anxious. He wants to be like his Dad. His dad is a detective for the police department. Frank gets clues and organizes them. He talks with his brother, Joe who helps him solve mysteries. A few more things that describe Frank are detail oriented, a sometimes overactive mind, and self -confidence. At the beginning of the story, Frank was mostly a happy person. He was taking flying lessons and being with his brother. Frank was a little frustrated when he first got the clues to the mystery. He was eager to get some more clues to solve the mystery. It was exciting for him to help solve the mystery. He wanted to be like his dad the detective for the police. He was smart to find the bad guy in the phonebook. He felt important after he found two of the criminals. Frank was a little scared when the bad guy started shooting at their plane. He was a bit smarter after he solved the mystery. He felt good about himself. At the beginning of the book, Frank and his brother, Joe, were sent a secret coded letter from their father. The letter said "Hugo Purple Turban." The boys looked for all the "Hugos" in the phone book. The boys were interested in finding the "Hugo" that stole some handbags. One of the Hugos had a purple turban. The boys went to investigate where handbag robberies occurred. They followed the suspects for a long time. They heard a clue. It was "Cabezona", which means pineapple. Before the brothers left for San Juan, their friends Chet and Tony found a ticking suitcase in the cargo hold. Frank said it was a bomb and threw it as far as he could. Then Frank, Joe, Chet, and Tony went to San Juan.When they got to San Juan all the boys saw Frank and Joe's father. The brothers went to the airport. Frank went into one of the airplane's cargo area. The plane took off with Frank still in the cargo hold. He almost ran out of air but he didn't die. Joe was waiting at the airport for Frank. Frank and Joe went to a pineapple orchard because of the "Cabezona" clue. When they were there, someone pushed them off the edge of the 50-foot railing. Frank held Joe from falling any further. He held them till help came. Then they went North of Cabezona and found the island called Calypso. They found a mansion on the island. Someone greeted them and gave them lobster dinner. It was lightly poisoned, but not enough to kill a person. Chet got a big stomachache. Tony had a small stomachache but Frank and Joe were fine. They went to get Chet
