A review by bookworm_baggins
The House on the Cliff by Franklin W. Dixon

4.0

Read aloud to Emma and Will. This plot was up a notch from the first, and Emma commented that it was a good bit scarier (smugglers, kidnappers, and repeated captures of the Hardy boys). As I read this one to them (versus listening to the audiobook), I was struck by how wonderful the vocabulary is in these books. Lots of excellent word choices and vibrant descriptions, especially compared to some other series (modern) series we've been reading.
