Review: American Treasure Hunters #4: The Missing U-Boat Enigma - Andrew M. Dare (Travis J.I. Corcoran)

One of the real pleasures of my reading this year has been discovering the American Treasure Hunters series. These young adult mystery/adventure novels are very much influenced by the Rick Brant, Hardy Boys, and Three Investigators series, and while their aim may be to help get boys reading again, they’re perfect for older readers like me with fond memories of those earlier books.
