The Hardy boys are back with an all new mystery full of counterfeiters intertwined with a top secret mystery that their dad was hired for. Their friend Chet is given a counterfeit twenty dollar bill. Then they find out about people that have sabotaged other factories. The new factory in their town

is one of the future factories planned to be sabotaged. They also learn of others that have been given counterfeit bills. They receive a description of one of the counterfeiters or victim not knowing of the counterfeiter's identity. While going to the factory Frank and Joe see a car speed away fast. They give chase thinking it is a person sabotaging the factory. Then Frank and Joe hear a giant explosion behind them. One of the factory buildings has exploded and they are worried that their dad could be inside the building. They are captured by the counterfeiters and people who sabotaged the factories. Their friends call the police and the police capture the people who kidnapped Frank and Joe. The Mystery of the Old Mill is finally solved!

When Frank and Joe Hardy and, their friend Chet, find out that someone is spreading fake money in Bayport, the Hardies know that they need to get on the job, and quick!

I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. So after my obsession with Nancy Drew started to dwindle (mostly because I had read all the ones I could get my hands on), I moved on to The Hardy Boys because that was the natural next step,

duh. Love the Hardy Boys (though they weren't quite as amazing and Nancy Drew and her friends).

Wildly predictable, but still lots of fun due to the great narration, over the top sound effects, and good wholesome adventure. The Hardy boys and their good friend Chet get caught up in a counterfeiting case after getting a phony twenty dollar bill. Their sleuthing (as always) puts them in some

tight scrapes and they get into some nasty boat trouble (the teen aged detectives have motorcycles and a boat of their own... color me jealous), but as is the case, they make it out just find and discover that their is more than counterfeiting going on. Cheesy, yet fun.

Dad and the boys get mixed up with counterfeiters and a bit of corporate sabotage while mom makes sandwiches. What more can I say, it's the Hardy Boys for crying out loud!
