I read all the Hardy Boys my grammy had, and some of her Nancy Drew books while my mom and I were staying at her house in New Hampshire. It was over the summer between 3rd and 4th grade (so each of these will be marked as read in July 1989). As an adult, I don't remember much about them other than I was unable to put each book down until I finished it. Even in 1989, this was still a fantastic series. As an frequent reader of YA, I'm tempted to pick one of these up again to see if it holds up.

Very dated, with stuff which would be inappropriate now, but fun story

I love how amazing the Hardy Boys books are, my hardest part is putting them down once I have started them. I made of added this to my current reading list is August but it only took me a matter of two to three hours to read it start to finish. The only thing I wish is that I could discuss it with my dad, because the novels once were his and every time I see a pencil marking or a dogged ear paged, I can feel his presence with me while I am reading.

This was another audiobook my 9 year old and I listened to together. I don't think either of us liked it quite so much as we did the first, but it was good enough to keep us entertained. We both guessed the end wrong and clearly this was written in a time when entertaining the younger generation meant as happy an ending as one could make it.

I've read both the revised version of this book, and the original, and I just say that I enjoyed the original much better!
This was exciting, fun, and a fast read. While not one I would read over and over in a short time, I did enjoy it and am sure I'll read it again. I do like that Frank and Joe go to their father for advice and care about each other. I'm still not sure though, why Bayport kept such a person as their police chief, but at least they didn't make every law officer dumb.
