Hello guys!

It's great to c that i am not alone! Great! I love Hardy Boys mysteries like anything but it has been a while since i last read one! Actually got a hand on each and every Hardy Boys book from the school lib. We had the entire series and some from the case files! In fact i got to know about the internet first time from those case files books!DOn't find them anymore!

I wish I cud read them once again. The older series is the one I like...They did play a major role in improving my essay writing exams and competitions at school!

Cud somone give a clue as to where i can get a hand on a few of them (at a cheap rate offcourse!!)

Wud b nice to read them again! wud b sort of nostalgic for me as well. I liked the Three investigators as well but Hardy Boys is THE BEST!

Take care!


The Best is Yet To Come!

hardy boys..hmm, very excited bunch of teenagers with just the proper dose of hormones in their bloodstream and action in their veins. the first book i read was the voodoo plot; found out what is mardi gras for the first time in my ife (little did i know that i would be looking at mardi gras videos on FTV myself, a few years down the line )

the tower trasure and the shore road mystery are two more books that i recall having read some years back.

cheers

hey whata huge coincidence...me too had read the Voodoo plot the first..also the Tower Treasure was some of the first which i read..

My all-time fav was "The Demon's Den". It was this story about a guy who kidnaps children of atheletes'. These kids are all huge (as bothe their parents are tall athletes). He claims to produce super-athletes... and our heroes uncover this plot and the kids are retu to their parents and they live happily ever after!
