As with the other books in the collection,my son adored The Mystery of the Spiral Bridge. Once he starts reading he cannot put the book down until finished. A great way for children to improve their reading and vocabulary skills.

This book is the 45th book in the original Hardy Boys series. This book follows "The Haunted Fort." The subsequent book in the series is "The Secret Agent on Flight 101."
There are strange troubles in the wilderness of Kentucky as Tony Prito's father attempts to build a road through the wilderness. Someone keeps trying to sabotage the road. At first, Mr. Hardy attempts to solve the mystery, but someone attacks and severely injures Mr. Hardy. The stakes increase when someone breaks into the Hardy house and when Frank and Joe Hardy receive threats. The trail leads to New York, but quickly becomes cold in a cemetery.
Undaunted, Frank, Joe, Tony and Chet go to Kentucky to try to find the saboteurs. The boys also need to learn why someone is trying to sabotage the road construction project. The mystery deepens when the boys arrive in Kentucky. Bombs are found beneath a bridge under construction. The boys are attacked and Tony's injuries require medical attention. Worse, the mysteries have grown rather than decreased. Why is there a glowing light in the wilderness at night? Who or what is Rosy? Why do so many of the men on the construction project speak strange slang? Who is the baron? Will Frank and Joe's father recover from his serious injuries? Readers of this book will have many things to discover before the final page is turned!
This book is one of the best of the later books in the series. Indeed, this book compares well with the early books in the series. There are well crafted mysteries and a complex story. This book was enjoyable to read and I kept interested from beginning to end. As with the previous book in this series, "The Haunted Fort," I recommend this book to a very first time Hardy Boys reader.
The publisher recommends the Hardy Boys series for ages 9 to 12 because the series is relatively tame for the previous target audience of ages 10 to 14. This particular book is a very good fit for the new age range. Though the Hardy Boys series contains archaic information, as reading material for an increasingly younger audience they are fine. Once a child has reached age 12 or so the stories may be of less interest, but given the combination of mystery and action, these books remain good safe choices for parents who want to know what their children are reading.
Enjoy!

Definatley in the top tier of Hardy Boy books, and not just for the later volumes, but period. Top notch story, setting, atmosphere, and very imaginative. 5 Stars.

Among it's era, Spiral Bridge stands tall as one of the best book during this period in Hardy history.. It was a rather unique volume with the very first 50 pages being a volume in itself and the remainder a subsequent to the opening. By page 50, the brothers are at a Dead End thus the chapter "Dead End" is well named. The brothers were at a stand still in solving this case. After a brief 15 pages of little activity they head to Kentucky undercover at a construction site under assumed names using "jailbird language". I absolutely loved this book. It captured your imagination. They were in the great outdoors among the enemy (Sleeping With the Enemy) working side by side with the very criminals they intended to bring to justice. The book is packed with action & suspense. RATED B+

book review
by torrey v. chrisman
The book I like is the hardy boys. Its about to brothers that go on detective cases. They have 53 books in the series and they live in the town of Bayport. They have a bud named Chet.
I like this book vary much. It has spy work and spenceful stuff like going to a rocky shore and climing it. I would give this book a ten because it is vary cool! by the way the brother's name are Fred and George. That's why I like this book. I am now reading book 45, it's called mystery of the spiral bridge.
