Brother detectives Frank and Joe face the dangers of Black Bear Mountain once again in the twentieth book in the thrilling Hardy Boys Adventures series.

Frank and Joe are back on Black Bear Mountain, the scene of a previous wilderness adventure and mind-bending mystery. This time, the brothers are checking in on Dr. K, a friend they made during their first trip. Dr. K is a fan of living off the grid, but he's been MIA long enough to cause worry in the small mountain town. And so the teenage detectives Black Bear Mountain relied on before have been called in to help once again.

It's not a good start to the investigation when Frank and Joe's ATV is put out of commission by a falling tree. Then their camp, including their radio--their only way to contact the outside world--is destroyed by wildlife searching for food. And when they finally reach Dr. K's research station, they find his cabin has been cleaned out and abandoned--the only current resident is an angry skunk.

Frank and Joe may have been better prepared for their second Black Bear Mountain adventure, but they're not having any more luck this time around. In fact, they've been downright unlucky. Is someone trying to sabotage their mission? And if they are, how can the brothers stop this invisible foe?

These powers, Grandpa explains, can only be used to help other children in need. The twins soon begin using their skills to help children all across the country-to Texas where Michael is being bullied, to Florida where Jackson is stuffed in a school locker, and to California to aid Kurt who is having problems in school.

Ben and Martie Marshall did not intend to be heroes when they rescued vacationing honeymooners from a capsized boat on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. But when a group of divers radios for help during a storm, the Coastal Patrol calls on the American teenagers to help with another daring rescue. Upon hearing of the ill-fated diving trip, some locals say it's the result of a deadly curse that has plagued Durgan's Reef for years. But the Marshalls prefer a natural explanation over a supernatural folk tale. With their new friends, including the coastal patrolmen, an eccentric librarian, a renowned marine biology professor, and a handsome Aussie teen, the Marshalls set out to solve the mystery. Before it's over, they must rely on their courage, their wits, and their faith in God to win their fight for survival against unforeseen dangers. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Australia's rugged coast, and the breathtaking beauty of the world's largest coral reef system, The Curse of Durgan's Reef paints a vivid portrait of heart-pounding adventure and life-or-death struggles amid the island continent's magnificent natural wonders.

So I agreed to play the part of Esther Rackham in a film about the heist that gave River Heights its name, and there was all this trouble on the set, and I figured out who was behind it. Case closed, right?
Wrong
Once the camera starts rolling, a huge fire breaks out on the set, setting back production "again." We're running out of time and funds. At least the fire turns up a key clue about who started it, but I'll have to continue juggling acting and sleuthing. Because it might be up to me to save this film from going up in flames....
