THE HARDY BOYS®

A VACATION IN PARIS TURNS INTO AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE CITY

Frank and Joe Hardy can't resist an invitation to volunteer with the crew for a soccer match in Paris. They will be working at the same stadium where the World Cup was held a few years ago! From the moment the Hardys arrive, though, strange things start happening. Bleachers collapse during practice, fireworks are tampered with, and the stadium lighting system is sabotaged. The stadium -- and soon most of Paris -- is under attack.

Despite the extreme danger that lies directly in their path, the Hardys are hot on the case. Using spy gear like night-vision goggles and digital voice changers, can Frank and Joe trap the mastermind behind these crimes?

3.0 out of 5 stars Review of Passport to Danger, January 27, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Passport to Danger (Hardy Boys Case Files #179) (Hardcover)

"Hey Joe! Everyone! Get off the field. Frank quickly pulled a few people out of the way and pushed hem toward an exit. As the whining canister neared them, more people noticed it. Joe joined Frank in herding people to safety. Finally, they headed for the exit themselves."
If you want to find out what happens next your going to have to read Hardy Boys Passport to Danger by Franklin W. Dixon.
It's a book I read and thought was a good mystery. Maybe you will too. The book is about two brothers, Joe and Frank who volunteer with a crew for a soccer game in Paris. On the way, lots of bad things happen to them.
The book will keep you guessing until the very last page. Even though I wasn't too fond of the ending I'm still glad I read it. The book just ended without very much excitement. There are also a couple scary parts in the book.
Adding to the mystery, all the books in the Hardy Boys series list Franklin W. Dixon as the author. But, what most people don't know is that the real author is Edward L. Stratemeyer. People say that Mr. Stratemeyer would hire authors to write stories for him from his outlines and make sure that they would never tell that Mr. Dixon was not the true author.
If you like a mystery then read Hardy Boys Passport to Danger. I think you will enjoy it.
