The Hardy Boys #16: A Figure in Hiding

I'm on a roll! When my life and the right books align, i can get a lot read in a short amount of time. This is 3 books in 4 days! I know, I know.....this one really doesn't count. But it sort of does, especially when you consider what these wonderfully ridiculous Hardy Boys books do for my soul!

I'm sorry if you do not get it, but i cannot get enough of this. Continuing my quest to have one each of both the original brown covers and the first blue series......and I'm gonna read them both.....cuz the times changed....and so did the books! The blues i am reading first, cuz that's what i mostly grew up with.....but the browns have an extra layer of charm for me, so they will be saved for later. This was probably the most spread out wide-ranging adventure yet, with almost so many shady characters, I could barely keep track over the whole entire day it took me to read it! Otherwise it might have been a 4-star.....I love their wholesome fearlessness, their willingness to admit when they have blundered, the complete freedom they have as older teens (ok...maybe a little unrealistic.....but we can still dream, no?), and the steady pulse of the cars, boats, planes, etc. that are always present in these stories. So glad I've got a ton of these left to go! Yay!
