The Mysterious CaravanFranklin W. Dixoncopyright 1975mysteryThis book is about two detectives solving a big mystery. They go to a mysterious desert and find that there are random camels just standing with supplies on their back. They then take a closer look and find that there are people illegally trading goods. the thieves then find the boys and realize that the boys are spying on them. The boys then fall in a series of traps that the theives made. The boys then get help from their peers and their detective father to take the theives down.The theme of this book is to never give up. The boys were beat and trapped plenty of times and they decided to keep going. They got closer and closer using clues to get these theives and put them in their place. The boys also were threatened a lot on if they kept on at the case that the thieves would find them and kill them but the boys ended up winning.The writing style of the author is to keep the reader hooked. All of the previous books I have read, the author always ended the chapter with a bang. This always makes the reader want to keep reading and finish the book. Audiences that would be interested in this book would probably be people who like mysterious and know how to detect clues and foreshadowing throughout the book. I personally love reading these mysteries and they always keep me hooked on reading to the next chapter. This book is a lot more interesing that other books that I have read. For example, Tom Sawyer was not always interesting in the whole book, but mostly just in a few chapters. This book stays tense every single chapter.joe sucked in his breath. "I can't make out all of the words, only a few. They say, 'Get mask . . . us . . . and . . . will knock off Fenton Hardy.' " pg. 81 paragraph 5. This shows the writing style of the author as very tense. This also shows that the reader is given clues so that they can think about what will happen next in the story. This finally piques the readers interest to want to read the next chapter and find out what the note really meant or whatever happened after that.I think I have a very close relationship with the two detectives. I am always solving mysteries throughout my life and finding clues to help me solve them. I also never give up just like them. If I am losing a game of basketball, I always try to fight back and take the victory. Unlike me, the boys always win their fight. This book affected me in a good way. It made me realize that their are always plenty of mysteries I can solve. I just have to put more time into solving them. I enjoyed the teeth biting suspence of this wonderful story. I enjoyed it because a book without suspense and too much talking, i think is just too boring for me.
