The Secret of Skeleton Island

In the sixth adventure of Robert Arthur’s classic mystery series, the Three Investigators travel to southern Florida, where the ghost of a young girl on a haunted carousel threatens a film crew shooting on an island off the coast.

There they meet a Greek boy, Christos Markos, who's an expert deep-sea diver. In the face of sudden danger, ugly rumors, and continuing mysterious events, can Jupiter, Pete, and Bob save Chris's reputation, unravel the mystery of the young girl's ghost, and rescue the movie from disaster?

By turns rousing, mystifying, and engrossing, The Secret of Skeleton Island promises to please not only the existing fan base of The Three Investigators series but a whole new generation of readers who will find in its pages three very different boys whose imagination, courage, and intelligence can remind us that curiosity, perseverance, and rational inquiry are just as vital as friendship and cooperation.

At the end of each Three Investigators book published by Hollow Tree Press are notes written by Robert Arthur's daughter and son-in-law, exploring three subjects connected to the story - in this case, Blowholes, Pirates, and Boys From Other Countries - and young readers may want to use these notes as guidelines for further investigation. After all, the motto of The Three Investigators is "We Investigate Anything," and their trademark is “???” - three question marks, taken together.

On the 60th anniversary of the creation of The Three Investigators series, the first-ever English-language e-book editions of Robert Arthur’s novels, as well as the first new English-language print editions in over twenty-five years, stand ready to delight a whole new audience.
