The Hardy Boys: The Blackwing Puzzle - Franklin W. Dixon

bashing that the boys tend to do. The books are written by a number of different ghost writers, although the publishing is always done in the name of Franklin W Dixon. The publishers were Grosset & Dunlap for so many years before Simon & Schuster took over in 1979/1980. The books remain popular amongst teens despite their rather old format and style of adventure, but you ll likely find that series such as Stephenie Meyer s Twilight and perhaps the Stormbreaker books target a more modern teen quite effectively, and corner a lot of the market. The Blackwing Puzzle was published in the early 1980s, and so may seem quite old in many ways, but it s still a good read ...

The Hardy Boys: Tricky Business - Franklin W. Dixon

very easy to follow in terms of plot, but quite short, as a lot of teenage fiction can sometimes be. The books are written by a series of ghost writers, but published under the pseudonym Franklin W Dixon. This is an enjoyable read, but the outdated elements are glaringly obvious, which does make it a little hard to relate to at times. Tricky Business, as with most of the Hardy Boys books published since 1980, is quite hard to get hold of in the UK, but is readily available from various online US sites for a fair price. Just beware the P&P prices. Overall, a decent but average book from ...
