It’s a case of hidden identities for brother detectives Frank and Joe in the in the eighteenth book in the thrilling Hardy Boys Adventures series.
The Hardy brothers and Frank’s new girlfriend, Jones, are attending a local comic book convention on the shore. They meet up with Jones’s friend Harper, a fellow comics super fan, on the boardwalk outside the convention. The four of them spend hours running from booth to booth and end the perfect day with pizza at Harper’s short-term rental apartment.
Things don’t stay so perfect, though. On the way home, Jones realizes she switched phones with Harper by accident and she is getting some really scary texts. When they show up at the apartment the next day, they find it totally destroyed and Harper is missing.
Frank and Joe start digging into their new friend’s life, hoping to find out where she might have gone, but the more they find out about her, the more mysterious she becomes. Can Frank and Joe find this secretive character? Or has she disappeared forever?
Customer Reviews
My thoughts:
1. Frank is nothing like the original. Frank Hardy would NOT have put off a school assignment. And I could NEVER have seen him date a girl that talks the way Jones does. No way would he have dated a girl like that! He seems a lot less mature in this book. That disappoints me.
2. I don’t like some of the phases that Jones continually uses. That greatly disappointed me and I will make sure to read a preview of the book before I buy one hastily again. I’m counting this book a waste of my money. The one phrase that Jones uses is not popularly counted as taking God’s name in vain, but the word she uses is meant to be a nicer way of saying his name.... I don’t need that phrase to seem more normal in my mind.
3. It is a funny book. I’ll give it that. I always did find Joe funny!
