With a brand-new Three Investigators series finally launched into the world, it's a great time to also revisit the classic books. The new series, conceived and co-written by Elizabeth Arthur, Robert Arthur's daughter, brings Jupiter, Pete, and Bob into the 21st century. It offers fresh adventures that resonate with today's readers while preserving the timeless spirit of the original tales. But for old fans who fell in love with the series many years ago, this anniversary edition is also a must.
In the first adventure of Robert Arthur's classic mystery series, it's 1964 in the town of Rocky Beach, California. Working out of their newly established Headquarters - an old trailer hidden behind carefully arranged junk in the Jones Salvage Yard - and driven around southern California in a gold-plated vintage Rolls Royce they've won the use of in a contest, Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw, and Bob Andrews decide to get publicity for their fledgling detective firm by finding a real haunted house for the renowned film director Reginald Clarke.
But although the highly rational Jupiter starts with the belief that there is no such thing as a ghost, a spook, a phantom, or a spirit, Terror Castle - the old mansion supposedly troubled by the ghost of the late Stephen Terrill, the silent horror film star called the Man with a Million Faces - may prove him wrong!
By turns exciting, spine-tingling, and humorous, The Secret of Terror Castle promises to please not only the existing fan base of The Three Investigators series but a whole new generation of readers who will find in its pages three very different boys whose imagination, courage, and intelligence can remind us that curiosity, perseverance, and rational inquiry are just as vital as friendship and cooperation.
After all, the motto of The Three Investigators is We Investigate Anything, and their trademark is - three question marks, taken together. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of The Three Investigators series, this new edition of the Robert Arthur novels includes all ten titles, with end notes written by Elizabeth Arthur and Steven Bauer.
Continue the adventure with the contemporary Three Investigators series, crafted for a slightly older audience. The new series spans twenty-six books, from The Mystery of the Abecedarian Academy to The Mystery of the Zoroastrian Zodiac. Explore the full reboot at https: //www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTW2NT8F
