In The Bombay Boomerang by Franklin W. Dixon the Hardy boys get a strange phone call that is involved in a case that will affect national security. Joe hardy accidentally dials the wrong number and he calls the Pentagon and the man on the other end of the phone says Bombay boomerang and hangs up. The boys find out that the plot is for terrorist to reach havoc on the United states using missiles. their plan is to overthrow the government of the united states at the end the Hardy boys are able to capture the head of the terrorists and prevent the attack. My favorite character in the book is Joe Hardy because he is in charge of the investigation and at the end of the book he is the one that frees his brother Frank and Captures the head of the terrorist group. I liked him because he was the most important character in the book and the most interesting. personally i liked this book and it was the best one that i have read for good reads this year because it was full of action, suspense, and mystery. i would recommend this book to anyone who likes suspenseful books that have a ending that looks down for the characters but they pull through at the end.
