The Secret of the Old Mill (1927)

The Short-Wave Mystery (1945)
Pulled this off the shelf at Grandma's. Fine plot involving taxidermy and short-wave radios, whatever.

The Secret of Wildcat Swamp (1952)
I really liked this book a lot because it was related in mystery and adventure. Most adventure and mystery books are about men trying to find bad people.

The Mystery of the Aztec Warrior (1964)
I'm a big fan of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series. Although I would normally just breeze through the books, this was just a bit of a drag for me.

Hunting for Hidden Gold (1963)
"Joe realized that he and Frank would never be able to accomplish the task. And he knew there was no hope of assistance from outside, for no one knew where they were."Indeed. You have to read the original version of this book (published in 1928) and not one of the revised versions (1963) or updat...
The Hooded Hawk Mystery (1955)
I used to be a fan of the Hardy Boys, though I've only read a couple of books from the series. This might be my third or fourth one.

The Haunted Fort (1965)
I thought this book was really good but, not as exciting as I hoped. There were many interesting parts, but the book still felt a little dry. I'm not saying I hate the book I'm just saying I've read better. I guess the book was written really well on what would happen in real life, but I guess th...

Footprints Under the Window (1933)
I read the 1933 edition, which is very different from the revised 1965 edition. In fact, the cover of the book shown is wrong. There are not tropical settings and no army guys in the book I read.But there sure are cringingly terrible racist stereotypes about Chinese people! If you want to read a ...

The Apeman's Secret (2005)
Yeah, so I found this in a pile of retreads passed around at work, and I had to look inside. No chance I'll finish it, but it's nice to know the Hardy Boys were still keepin' it real in 1980, holdin' it down for the 1950s, fo'reals. That language is straight thug: "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle...

Mystery at Devil's Paw (1959)
This is one of my surviving Hardy Boys books (most were lost in a basement flood years ago). I found it recently and enjoyed re-reading it. Again.
