So, like, I enjoy this one as I generally do with the Hardy Boys, but holy hell the bad guys are stupid. Kidnap the wrong kids, lose their prisoners repeatedly, can't find anyone on the island, can't escape the island... at least when the boys are dealing with pro criminals there's usually more of a struggle, but in this case the criminals are a bunch of doofuses trying to be threatening, just badly.
