5) THE HOUSE ON THE POINT A Tribute to Franklin W. Dixon and the Hardy Boys

Jacket wraps vertically around front cover only (as issued). Otherwise clean & unmarked. B/w frontispiece. "The original Hardy Boys titles were not the creations of the nonexistent Franklin W. Dixon credited on their covers but actually the products of numerous factory writers between 1927 and 1946. They've been reconfigured over the years for different generations, but never so lovingly as in this attempt by Hoff to reintroduce the Hardys to a new pack of young readers. Hoff has stripped the book down to its bare essentials and redrafted it with fresh dialogue and three-dimensional characters. ....But is it any good? Heck, it's a Hardy Boys adventure. There are spooky old houses, smugglers' caves, and last-minute rescues. It's a slice of wholesome fun for young readers or older readers who want to once again spend some time with the irrepressible Hardys. " ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . more information
