Peril at Granite Peak
As I rounded the corner, I spotted Rick just ahead. He paused and bent down to poke at something on the ground by his feet, muttering something that I couldn't make out due to the wind. WHOOSH! I gasped and jumped back as a huge pile of snow slid off the roof of the ski shack, completely burying Rick!

The Battle of Bayport
Mr. Lakin made his way over to Don Sterling. “It’s bad enough we have to suffer through your performances onstage. Now come on, we’re going to be late for our own party. The whole world doesn’t stop for you, you know.”
Mr. Lakin gave the Don’s boot a kick. The Don didn’t move. Joe and I exchanged a glance. Something was definitely not right. Joe knelt down and put his fingers on Don Sterling’s neck like we’d been taught in our first aid course.

“I don’t think he’s acting,” Joe said after a moment. “It’s hard to fake not having a pulse.”

"Joe," I said, concerned, "hit the brake!"
"I am," Joe said, pumping the pedal now. But the car didn't slow at all. The traffic light turned red as we hurtled toward the intersection. And suddenly I saw the one other car out this early on a Saturday morning - a huge Express Delivery truck!
Joe screamed. I leaned forward, bracing myself against the dashboard. There was nothing we could do. It was speeding right at us!

Shadows at Predator Reef
Diving into deadly waters...
The world's largest reef exhibit is coming to the Bayport Aquarium. Frank and Joe are stoked for the unveiling of Predator Reef, a three-hundred-thousand-gallon tank that houses small sharks, rays, and thousands of colorful fish. It’s also home to the aquarium’s new mascot, Captain Hook — a rare and valuable, five-hundred-pound, giant sea turtle.
But instead of a big reveal, the boys get a big disappointment: Captain Hook has gone missing, along with loads of other exotic fish. Is the aquarium the target of a sinister smuggling ring? And can Frank and Joe do damage control before they’re trapped in a deadly underwater maze... with no way out?

Deception on the Set
Lights! Camera! Sabotage?
It does not take much to convince Frank and Joe to be extras in the new zombie movie that’s filming in Bayport. Not only do they get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the magic that goes into making horror movies, they also get to wear freakishly realistic zombie makeup that makes them look like the walking dead!
But the horror gets a little too real when disaster hits the scene. Equipment fails left and right; a set tumbles down, nearly killing the film’s famous lead actress; and a terrifying explosion threatens the cast and crew. Worst of all, Frank and Joe are targeted as possible suspects. Time for the Hardys to step up and play the role they know all too well: detectives!

The Curse of the Ancient Emerald
Three nights. Three riddles. Three robberies.
First, a priceless painting disappears from the Bayport Historical Museum; then, two ancient samurai swords vanish from a private collection. A string of robberies has hit Bayport, and all signs point to the Phantom, a recently released ex-con who last struck more than twenty years ago. There’s only one problem: The Phantom has vanished into thin air, and not even Frank and Joe Hardy can track him down.
Then the boys begin receiving threatening notes in the mail, each one containing a strange riddle. And it looks like the Phantom’s next target could be the valuable Emerald of Astara, the 2,500-year-old crown jewel of the historical museum. Can the Hardys crack the Phantom’s code before he strikes again?


Tunnel of Secrets
Sinking into danger
When a sinkhole opens up and swallows one of Bayport’s historic statues, Frank and Joe suspect something — or someone — shady is at play. They jump at the chance to investigate: Joe as a member of an urban exploration club and Frank as a photographer for the school paper.

But in the thick of their search, the boys stumble upon an entire underground city that’s been abandoned for years. Now the city is home to a cultish band of criminals who plan to take over Bayport. Frank and Joe are determined to catch the crooks . . . but after being barreled down by a boulder and nearly squashed by a runaway train, they have to wonder: Are they in over their heads?

Lost in the woods... Bayport High's Green Environment Conservation Club is camping on Black Bear Mountain. Not only does the mountain live up to its name - the fierce, furry animals are everywhere - but rumor has it that a madman lurks in the nearby forest, and the crazy dude has a penchant for feasting on human flesh.
When the campers wake up, however, not only do they find a bear roaming the campsite, but their teacher is missing . . . and blood is streaked across his tent. Frank and Joe go in search of him, only to find themselves hunted by an ax-wielding man in face paint and bearskins. As they venture farther into the forest, Frank tumbles into a waterfall and Joe finds himself teetering on the edge of dangerous rapids.
Add all that to the black bears prowling the forest, and the boys aren't sure if they'll make it out alive!

There are no streetlights on Farragut Alley, so keeping Gabe in our sights was a little difficult. We followed him down toward the dead end, and then suddenly a door opened to our right, in one of the nondescript retail buildings. I wasn't aware of apartments being inside, but maybe above the stores...

"JOE!" Frank suddenly yelled behind me, but it was too late. A dark shape advanced on us from inside the doorway, and a bag was thrown over my head again. I could hear them doing the same to Frank too. Arms reached out and roughly pulled me inside.

A twig cracked. I snapped my head to the side, following the direction of the sound, and peered through the greenery. There was nothing there.

As I began to turn back around, I caught the slightest motion out of the corner of my eye.

Peeking out between clumps of dense vegetation, about twenty feet away, were two eyes. My skin prickled when I realized that they were staring back at me.

A crooked trail of artistic deception – in Paris!

The Hardy Boys are visiting Paris! Joe is excited to check out all the street art he's heard about. And Frank can't wait to go to all the museums he's researched.

On their very first day in the city, the brothers are woken up early in the morning by fireworks. But these are no ordinary fireworks. They are a part of elaborate cover for the heist of a priceless artifact. What's worse, the theft seems to have been orchestrated by Joe's favorite street artist, an unidentified outlaw and activist that goes only by the name Le Stylo. Everyone seems sure that it's him, but the Hardys are suspicious. From everything they know about Le Stylo, the crime is out of character. Sure, he makes a habit of provoking the authorities, but he's an activist; not a thief. Could the artist known for his mystique have been framed? Frank and Joe are determined to find out.

A race to find the real thief has Frank and Joe following clues that lead them all over Paris, where they hobnob with rich art patrons, travel in a car that can only be described as a small Batmobile, and explore the extensive Catacombs under the city. Deep in the world of artistic deception, the boys have to wonder, are they in over their heads?
