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.

This wasn't too bad. There were a few problems, and a couple of plot points that weren't seen through, but when this author only had sixteen chapters and 149 pages to work with, they did fairly well. It was a thrilling read, and a great summer one too. Plus, dolphins!! XD

Didn't we have a dolphin mystery like 40 books ago? Was the dolphin market demanding more representation? Standard book, Hawaii was fun but the plot was average.

Fun mystery and a great location. Who wouldn't want to solve a mystery in beautiful Hawaii complete with dolphins?
