The Hardy Boys Mystery Series
The Hardy Boys mysteries are probably the best known boy's mystery series in the world. The original series has sold millions of copies and spawned several other Hardy Boys series including the Hardy Boys Casefiles. The original series was rewritten in the 1950s and 1960s to update and modernize the stories. Your best bet is to stick with the originals and the original rewrites and ignore any book written more recently than the early 1970s. Most of the new books are either shallow to the point of worthlessness or entirely change the tenor of the books into something that was never originally intended.
The Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe Hardy, are the sons of the famous private detective, Fenton Hardy. They follow in their father's footsteps, solving mysteries ranging from small and local to mysteries and crimes of national and international importance. The interplay of the Hardys with their friends is entertaining and the adventure will appeal to almost any boy.
