This is the single most notorious of the early Hardy Boys mysteries. 'The Hidden Harbor Mystery' opens with a fantastic set-piece of an ocean liner hitting rough seas and sinking. It is packed with exploding boilers, brawls below decks and panicked passengers. Unfortunately the story veers away from...
13 Square: This is the thirteenth book in the series. Take a long look at that cover, because that's one of the least offensive things about the text of this book. The Hardy Boys have taken their beloved power boat out for a cruise when a dusky foreigner comes speeding out of the fog, hits them,...
Free Square! Frank and Joe have been left to their own devices while their parents are away on yet another vacation, when suddenly there's a phone call: Aunt Gertrude is coming!

OK, so...nothing really happens? That's not entirely true, but that was my feeling by the end of the book. However, the energetic writing and the very real, stupid danger the boys are allowed to get themselves into gives the rating a boost. The boys are out having a lark in the bay when a casual...
The Automobile Club of Bayport has passed a resolution: they urge the police to do everything in their power to stop the car thieves along the Shore Road.
