At least there's an island on the cover.

They also renamed the book!

That is a real mystery! Is the cabin also really an island or is the island also really a cabin?

At least the one on the left is dressed for the real Cabin Island

Did the artist read the book?

The same outfit also did covers with similar accuracy for The Secret of the Old Mill (showing a windmill) and House on the Cliff.

90 percent of the Public domain Hardy Boys books have AI made covers. There was some really bad ones for the House on a Cliff and the Missing Chums I vaguely remember.

At least the cover isn't pixelated like I've seen some Tom Swift Sr. Public Domain covers where the grabbed like a 90x50 picture of the G&D cover from some website and then blew it up to use on the book cover.
