The plot of this book was fairly good, with the entire Hardy family going to Hollywood to look into the near-fatal accidents of a stuntman friend of theirs. What made this book so different than any others I can recall is that Mrs. Hardy gets more than a mere mention. She actually works on a case with her men. Joe hardy has the biggest part in the story and it even mentions that he is supposedly physically stronger than Frank. It should be the other way around, since Frank is the older of the two. There's even a tongue-in-cheek joke in the novel when someone tells one of the characters that he could always take up a career ghostwriting children's books. I thought that was a cheap shot and just further evidence that not as much pride is being put into writing these stories as it once was. All in all, though, an exciting story with a lot of action. I'd recommend it.

"Daredevils" was awesome, so action packed! All of the stunts were thrilling. It took place in Hollywood. There was a competition, that was called "stuntfest". The person who did the best stunts would win and get the best contract. Terrence McCauley won it last year and probably was going to win it this year. A number of events happened causing Terrence to lose competition after competition. His dad, Brian McCauley hired the Hardy boys to try to figure out who did it. The book was amazing and I think you should read it. It is a 5 star performance. I loved it.

It's ok. You might want to try the casefiles series if you're trying to pick between them.
