Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew

[Jeslek]

Did any of you guys and girls read these books? I started off on Hardy Boys, then changed to Nancy Drew, and then proceeded right into Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Case Files I enjoyed it a lot.

[Shadowfax]

I tried reading them 25 years ago. It was nothing more than the Waltons figthing smugglers. yawn.

 

[Jeslek]

Well it was good entertainment for me when I was 9 or so

 

[whoreable]

I didn't read those but I did read "Encyclopedia Brown" books religiously. And Choose Your Own Adventure & Sweet Valley High books of course.

 

[Gaunt]

I read the Hardy boy books in like 3rd or 4th grade I think.

 

[Anon_me]

I've read a couple of the ones where they teamed up waaaaay back when

 

[Luis G]

I used to read them all the time... but this was when I was in 2nd, 3rd, 4th grade, sometime around then. I started off with reading the Hardy Boys books in my elementary school's library... but those were from the 60s. I then read some newer, more updated Hardy Boys (they actually had a tape player in the van now!) and the Hardy Boys casefiles. I thumbed through one of those books a few months ago and couldn't believe how big the print was... probably 11-point or so which is humungous for a book like that.

I hated Nancy Drew. Intensly. The Hardy Boys were ok.

They both read like they were writtne by the same person. About as fill in the blank as you can get, but to a 9 year old kid that never gets noticed. I still have a few HB books from my childhood.

I've been thinking about getting my boys a couple to see if they spark anything. They loved Encyclopedia Brown.
