The Only One of this Series That's Worth Anything

While I'm not really a fan of the Hardy Boys, I have read more than a few of their adventures. This exploit is worthy of them -- there's adventure, mystery and highjinx, without too much violence or gimmickry. All the characters are here -- not just Frank and Joe, but also Chet, Iola and Callie. And the artwork, by American manga pioneer Lea Hernandez, is exceptionally well done. After this, the series drops remarkably in quality, not just of the artwork (adieu, Ms. Hernandez!) but of storytelling, with the introduction of an unnecessary government agency to explain why the Hardys keep running into cases, and quite a bit of angsting on Fenton Hardy's part about the dilemma he faces in letting his sons do investigative work. So get this one, and forget the rest.

The Boys Are Back in Town!

The Hardy Boys are back in town with a mystery. Their friend Chet Morton has been accused of stealing off the internet! Of course, the Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe, know that Chet is innocent and uncover some very interesting facts... I really enjoyed this book and liked the comic book format! I would also reccomend this book to girls. (I am a girl and really enjoyed this) All in all, a very enjoyable start to a new series. 5 stars out of 5.

hardy boys are back in action

It's up to the Hardy Boys to find the clues and clear their friends name! Will they be able to prove that Chet was a victim not the suspect in the case? Read the first graphic novel of the Hardy Boys series to find out! The book was written in comic book form. It was full of supence and keep the reader wondering what might happen next. We would recommend this book. Boys who enjoy comics would enjoy reading this first book in a new series.
