About the author
Franklin W. Dixon
734 books991 followersFranklin W. Dixon is the pen name used by a variety of different authors who were part of a team that wrote The Hardy Boys novels for the Stratemeyer Syndicate (now owned by Simon & Schuster). Dixon was also the writer attributed for the Ted Scott Flying Stories series, published by Grosset & Dunlap.
Canadian author Leslie McFarlane is believed to have written the first sixteen Hardy Boys books, but worked to a detailed plot and character outline for each story. The outlines are believed to have originated with Edward Stratemeyer, with later books outlined by his daughters Edna C. Squier and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams. Edward and Harriet also edited all books in the series through the mid-1960s. Other writers of the original books include MacFarlane's wife Amy, John Button, Andrew E. Svenson, and Adams herself; most of the outlines were done by Adams and Svenson. A number of other writers and editors were recruited to revise the outlines and update the texts in line with a more modern sensibility, starting in the late 1950s.
The principal author for the Ted Scott books was John W. Duffield.

My mom got 3 Hardy Boys Casefiles books on one cartridge. I heard the first part of the first book, Beyond the Law, & the last part of the 3rd book, Open Season. I had heard the names Becker, Gentry, Oberman, Crawford, & Pearson & I had heard the ending. So, it should have been a snap, right? It wasn't. I had a hard time with it.
If Frank & Joe are ever allowed to grow up, they should be an ace detective team. Wait a minute, they are already an ace detective team. Glad I'm not their mother, Laura Hardy. I'd be a basket case.

This was about these 2 brothers named Frank and Joe Hardy. These 2 are on a skiing trip in woods. Then they were saw a cougar. Right when the cougar was going to attack them, someone came forward. It was a person who kept the cougars from being killed. Her name is K.D Becker. She specializes in cougars. After that the Hardys left K.D. where she was. They came back a short time later to find her shot in cold blood. She was not dead, but she was in bad condition. In the end, she survives her wounds and they caught the person who shot her.
