Plot Blurb:
Children are going missing in Bayport, and the police are completely at a loss - sounds like a job for the Hardy Boys!

It was just a normal school vacation for the boys. One morning, Frank and Joe planned on sharing a leisurely picnic with their girlfriends, Callie and Vanessa. Unfortunately, kidnappers decided to ply their trade in the same park and the Hardys were not going to stand for that! They save a young boy from being snatched, but at the same time, Frank is seriously hurt…no one has any notion how seriously until he regains consciousness. Joe, therefore, finds he's on his own solving the child-napping case and, without his brother's cool-headed assistance, at a disadvantage. Luckily for him, he has some very able-bodied, smart and loyal friends.

Joe and Frank's chums are keen and willing to help…but will they continue to be, when they inevitably find themselves in the firing line?
