In this, the first volume of the Undercover Brothers series, we find Frank and Joe entering a new era of more mature adventures as agents of A.T.A.C. (American Teens Against Crime). In addition the story is written in first person narrative style with Frank and Joe alternating chapters.
This story has the Boys investigating the sabotaging of an Extreme Sports meet in Philadelphia. Suspicious accidents and even a murder are centered around the meet and it's up to Frank and Joe to find out who is behind them! There's plenty of exciting adventure and mystery to be had in the course of the investigation.
Many of the characters from the older stories show up here: Mr. & Mrs. Hardy and, of course, Aunt Gertrude who is now called Aunt Trudy. Naturally, it wouldn't be a Hardy Boys story unless Chet Morton showed up and he makes a cameo appearance late in the story.
I enjoyed this story and if it is a sign of things to come, the new series should be a hit!

Do you wont to go on an extreme adventure? If you said yes, well you will have to go threw evil athletes and get the person whose under this evil plan but be careful I heard it was a mastermind.
Are you a kind of a person who really loves action or wants to do crazy stuff like go on a parachute that wont inflate and almost killing yourself. There are two main characters Joe and Frank. Frank is the dare devil and Joe is lazy. My dads name is Joe and my uncle name is Frank. Frank is the lazy one and my dad is the daredevil. This book has nonstop action. SO read the undercover brothers book and I guarantee you will enjoy this book.

I was excited to hear that they were updating the Hardy Boys series for the 21st century. I was also curious to see how they were going to do first person narrative with 2 main characters. How they do it is that they alternate each character between chapters. This is really interesting. It puts us in the character's heads and is more personal. This story, the first in the series was good. Frank and Joe are more like real characters.Anyone who is a Hardy Boys fan will enjoy this book

My son struggles with dyslexia so reading books usually does not keep his interest. We bought this book for a mystery book report that he had to do basically because #1 it was a mystery and #2 it was about dirt bikes. He has a dirt bike and when he saw this book he immediately said that was it. We started reading the book and it kept his interest the whole time. He is in 6th grade and had to do an oral book report on it so I asked him the day after we finished the book to tell me about it and he talked and talked and knew every detail. I just bought him #'s 2-5 and look forward to reading them with him. My mom used to have the old series because my brothers used to read them and when her house burnt down she lost them all. I wish she had them all now so that my son could read them also.
