I didn't really enjoy this one as much as I normally enjoy the Hardy Boys.
The classic boy detectives by Frank Dixon--I read ALL of them in my younger years, one I ran out of Nancy Drew books. The Hardy Boys are brother amateur detectives, aspiring to follow in their famous father's footsteps.
The two boys live in the fictional city of Bayport (on Barmet Bay) with their famous father, Fenton Hardy, a private detective formerly with the New York Police Department, their mother Laura Hardy (erroneously called Mildred in The Flying Express), and their Aunt Gertrude, a char...more

I think this was one of my favorite Hardy Boy books. It's the first time we've read one of the original books (all of the original HB books were re-written in the fifties and sixties), this one was written in 1944.
read when I was 10 through 13
Fun, quick read. I was hoping to introduce these books to my 11 year old. He's enjoyed it, and while I read Nancy Drew, it's been fun to read this Hardy Boy's book.
I think the Hardy Boy books helped me with learning deductive and inductive skills. I had to work through logic. Who knew? I enjoyed all these books.
I read the Hardy Boys books (and Nancy Drew) when I was a child. The stories are old fashioned, but that's why I like them so much.
This Hardy Boys wasn't a very intriguing one. It was okay...not what the hardy boys could be.
My book has the same cover as shown in this listing but was published in 1970.
I read 100 pages on the first day and finished 4 days later!
