Any guy 8 to 12 years old
Throw two over-achieving high school guys, a convertible, hot girlfriends, great buddies, and a dad who's an FBI agent in with some mysteries far beyond the scope of most professionals... what more could a young guy want? These books rock, although quite unrealistic and I think about anybody could come up with a story line...
Something mysterious happens to Frank and Joe or someone they know...
They investigate...
They get caught...

I can't tell you how much I loved the Hardy Boys books when I was younger. I read every one the Lawrence Library in Pepperell, MA had to offer. And that was not just a few. Frank and Joe Hardy, Chet Morton, Biff Hooper, Tony Prieto and the gang were some of my best friends along the way. I always wanted to live a life with as much adventure as the Hardy Boys. I just didn't know where to start. I guess I even secretly wished some bad guys would want to get into a fist fight with me or kidnap me s...more

If you enjoy mystery stories and are looking for something you can read in two days or less, this is the series for you! The Hardy Boys series is true Easy Reading. I've read a handful of them and have begun to notice a pattern. In every single book either them or their father gets kidnapped, someone breaks into their house, they ride around in their convertible, and get in and out of at least one near-death situation. I kid you not. They are fun for very, very, very, very, very light reading.

I happen to own the whole series except for a couple that "friends" borrowed and never returned.
The series help to make me a reader. I couldn't wait for birthdays and Christmas because I always knew that in one of the packages would be a Hardy Boys book that I had not read.
I've got the series but no son's to pass it on to. My daughters are just not that interested.... sad...

This is a must-read series for any mystery lover! Frank and Joe Hardy are two ordinary teens--except for the fact that, with the DNA of Fenton Hardy, private investigator, they can solve any mystery that you could think up! Prepare to be dazzled by the great storyline, cliffhanging suspense, and mysteries solved. Absolutely wonderful!

I began reading The Hardy Boys series when I was about 8 years old. I couldn't get enough of the stories and enjoyed a book a day during Summer vacation. This series is truly a wholesome and creative book that will provide any child with the curiousity and desire to read more books. One of the best series for young readers.

Went through the complete series the summer of 2nd grade. Good memories. "Chet", "jalopie", and punching people in the solar plexus still stick with me to this day.
Good for wee kids, if you haven't outgrown these by the age of 10 you need to ratchet up your reading comprehension.

I must have read all of them though I may have missed a few. The Hardy Boys is the first real book I remember reading besides the Aesop Tales and the encyclopedia my family had. Now to find the Casefiles series(I think I read 15 books in before I outgrew them)

A classic for all youth; The Hardy Boys never feels redundent in its plots and they make a wholesome simple read even for adults. There great because you can finish them in a few hours; if your the knid of reader who can never put a book done, once its up.

I seriously had these books. Not all of them, but some of them. No, no, I wasn't confused about my gender, I just found about the Hardy Boys through Nancy Drew.
Must read if you bare any children soon. Turn off the video games and turn on the literary mind.

The Hardy Boy books are great mystery books! These books kept me an active reader all through high school. There are so many different adventures to choose from and all of them are different, engaging, fun, and thrilling!

Come on! They had their own car, a boat, straight A's, girlfriends, adventure, and somehow always managed to avoid getting killed or imprisioned for trespassing--what's not to like as a young pre-teen?

I have read all 1-66 Hardy Boy mysteries. The main characters are the Hardy Brothers and their other helpful friends that help fight the forces of evil. Read them all they are so heart dropping.

Enjoyed the Hard Boys. They were a classic to me as a pre-teen. Though each mystery was similar to the last, they were intriguing to me; clean, fun, nonviolent, and quick reads.

I've read most of these. I think they're fairly decent books for someone who is in the mood for fiction. I don't read much fiction anymore, but liked these back in the day.

Ahhh... these are the books that I grew up with. I'm sure I read just about every one of them. I did like 20 book reports back in the 6th grade which gave me the first prize.

My childhood favorites! But the first 58 along with the Detective Handbook comprise the original Hardy Boys' series. I devoured them all sometime between grades 3 and 6.

I love these books! I have read most of them 2 or 3 times a peice because Tim has them. As soon as I picked the book up it was all most impossible to put down.

Obviously cannot be as many stars as Nancy Drew because boys are innately inferior. And they smell.
However, these were fun once I finished all the others.
