The Hardy Boys' Guide to Life by Franklin Dixon
Book Description If you are a fellow who thirsts for action and adventure, or you know someone who seeks thrills and mysteries, then you can learn a lot from Joe and Frank Hardy. Why? Because the Hardy boys know what it's like to be in the heart of the action, and they always manage to find a way out of the stickiest of jams. In The Hardy Boys' Guide to Life you'll find tips from one of the greatest sleuthing teams of all time -- on everything from deep-sea diving to dating -- to help you navigate through those murky spots in life. Need to know how to cry on the spot? Want a quick lesson in botany? What's the best disguise for a certain situation? Answers to all these questions (and a whole lot more!) are waiting for you with the turn of a page. Joe and Frank Hardy still know how to solve mysteries and live life to the fullest. Join them as they guide you to a swell life filled with sleuthing, skulduggery, and good, old-fashioned fun! Reader Reviews 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: A Fun Book For Hardy Boys Fans, May 11, 2003 Reviewer: R.W. Finnan from Long Island USA Similar in content to The Nancy Drew Guide To Life, this book outdoes it both in size and quality. Oddly enough, although this is a picture cover (PC) book, it comes with a dustjacket bearing art identical to the cover! This short (less than 50 pages), inexpensive volume is illustrated with color reproductions of various original series covers and some black and white frontispiece illustrations. Divided into 7 chapters, The Hardy Boys' Guide To Life offers up advice gleaned from the pages of the stories themselves. Originally this book was to be titled The Hardy Boys Swell Guide to Life, which is probably why the DJ description still uses the archaic word swell. I enjoyed The Hardy Boys Guide to Life. It is a fun, quick read which should be in every Hardy Boys fan's collection
