Hardy Boys Adventures #9 The Curse of the Ancient Emerald by Franklin W. Dixon

Modern day Hardy Boys!
Parents who were fans of the Hardy Boys series will be delighted to share this series with their children.
Frank, Joe and Chet along with a new friend Amber try to solve riddles before the Phantom steals valuable artifacts around Bayport.  If the boys report the riddles, the Phantom has threatened to hurt the boys' family members.
Short, exciting chapters will keep even reluctant readers reading!
Strategy: check for understanding/monitor- The story is told in first person narrative.  Frank and Joe, however, take turns sharing the story from their point of view.  The beginning of each chapter informs  who the narrator is.
Points to discuss/warning: The boys lie to cover up their investigation.  A minor character is not respectful to authority figures.  The boys sneak out at night to investigate.
