When Frank tries out for the basketball team, it's Joe's job to videotape the tryouts for the coach. But somebody takes the tape and steals the whole show! So what's Frank and Joe's game plan? First, send out a dog to sniff for clues. Second, put a gob of green goop in Chet's hair. Then eat lots of pizza. Dogs? Goop? Pizza? Sometimes detective work is even better than basketball.

Author Biography
Dixon, Franklin (Author)
Franklin W. Dixon Franklin W. Dixon is actually a pseudonym for any number of ghostwriters who have had the distinction of writing stories for the Hardy Boys series. The series was originally created by Edward Stratmeyer in 1926, the same mastermind of the Nancy Drew detective series, Tom Swift, the Rover Boys and other characters. While Stratmeyer created the outlines for the original series, it was Canadian writer Leslie McFarlane who breathed life to the stories and created the persona Franklin W. Dixon. McFarlane wrote for the series for over twenty years and is credited with success of the early collection of stories.

As the series became more popular, it was pared down, the format changed and new ghostwriters added their own flavor to the stories. Part of the draw of the Hardy Boys is that as the authors changed, so to did the times and the story lines. While there is no one true author of the series, each ghostwriter can be given credit for enhancing the life of this series and never unveiling that there really is no Franklin W. Dixon.
