Synopsis

Join Frank and Joe, two adventurous teenage brothers with a knack for solving mysteries, in the fourth installment of the classic mystery series for young readers: The Hardy Boys! To their friends’ envy, Biff and Chet plan to take a boating vacation up the coast. The joy of sending them off soon turns to anxiety as neither of them make contact with home for several days. Convinced that something’s happened to them, the Hardy boys and their friends go on a search filled with adventure and peril in hopes of retrieving their missing chums. Publishers Note: This audiobook edition of The Missing Chums is based on the first edition, originally published in 1928, not the 1962 revision.
