Other volumes in “The Treasure Hounds” series include The Mummy’s Secret, Secret in the Old Mansion, and The Secret Gold Mine.Grade 3-5 The self-styled ``Treasure Hounds'' are three children whose hobby is searching for treasurea hobby which almost invariably involves them in a mystery. No bad language or other objectionable material occurs, and there is an element of mystery that will keep the reader turning the page, although most children may figure out “whodunit” long before the climax. Who are the robbers? Can the Treasure Hounds locate the stolen goods and solve the mystery? Or will the thieves find out and escape with everything? I enjoyed reading The Case of the Slippery Sharks. Unfortunately, over the last few months, the town has been plagued by a series of robberies-silver, jewelry, paintings, even a pair of antique cymbals.Ī few days later, when the three friends and Captain Jib are out on the beach hunting more treasure, they see something suspicious which they think may be related to the thefts.
