Not the best writing, these book series, but somehow I love them all the same. There is something comforting and yet exciting in the Hardy's adventures. This particular one had plenty of fun gadgets and a fairly neatly tied up storyline. The kids and I have fun with each of these books and will continue through the series. ( )

Tenants Harbor - 2022 #2 - Another gripper from the teenage sleuths...yet another creepy mansion on the shore of Bayport, with white ghosts, smoke bombs, amethyst stashes, boat sabotage, an ugly band of jewel thieves, and plenty of good food from Aunt Gertrude! Having just struggled to finish a spy thriller lacking in gravitas that took over 6 months to finish, this was a delight! I love these Hardy Boy mysteries.....simple.....simply elegant actually.....thank you, Franklin W. Dixon, whoever the hell you were! ( )

Rebound. Ex-lib. SDL ( )

I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. So after my obsession with Nancy Drew started to dwindle (mostly because I had read all the ones I could get my hands on), I moved on to The Hardy Boys because that was the natural next step, duh. Love the Hardy Boys (though they weren't quite as amazing and Nancy Drew and her friends). ( )

A major incident happens to one of the supporting characters in the story. And a new sub supporting characater is introduced. Harkens back to the initals Hardy Boy stories. ( )
