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,...
I read a lot of Hardy Boys books since my grammar school's library carried them. I remember reading ths one, not so much the other titles though.

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.
