Unraveling The Yellow Feather Mystery
This book follows the famous detective brothers, Frank and Joe Hardy, as they dive into a puzzling case.
What is The Yellow Feather Mystery About?
The story begins with the Hardy Boys enjoying a skating trip on Willow River. They are heading towards Woodson Academy, a school where their friend, Gregory Woodson, studies. When they meet Greg, he shares some worrying news.
Greg's grandfather had passed away about seven weeks earlier. However, his will, which is a legal document saying who gets what after someone dies, has gone missing! Everyone believes the will states that Woodson Academy should go to Greg.
Adding to the mystery, Greg also received a very strange letter. It was a blank piece of paper with small rectangular shapes cut out of it. The word 'Hardy' was printed on it, making the brothers wonder if they are somehow connected to this puzzle.
Who Wants the Academy?
With the grandfather's will nowhere to be found, the school's headmaster, Henry Kurt, is trying to take control of Woodson Academy. Greg Woodson does not want this to happen, as he believes the school rightfully belongs to him.
As Frank and Joe begin to investigate, they and their friends find themselves in danger. Unknown people try to stop them from finding the truth. The Hardy Boys must use all their detective skills to solve the case.
Solving the Puzzle
The brothers face many challenges and dangerous situations. They work hard to find the missing will and figure out who is behind the strange events. In the end, they manage to uncover the truth, catch the person causing all the trouble, and solve the puzzling Yellow Feather Mystery!
