It does not take much to convince Frank and Joe to be extras in the new zombie movie that's filming in Bayport. Not only do they get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the magic that goes into making horror movies, they also get to wear freakishly realistic zombie makeup that makes them look like the walking dead!
But the horror gets a little too real when disaster hits the scene. Equipment fails left and right;a set tumbles down, nearly killing the film's famous lead actress; and a terrifying explosion threatens the cast and crew. Worst of all, Frank and Joe are targeted as possible suspects. Time for the Hardys to step up and play the role they know all too well: detectives!
Lost in the woods... Bayport High's Green Environment Conservation Club is camping on Black Bear Mountain. Not only does the mountain live up to its name - the fierce, furry animals are everywhere - but rumor has it that a madman lurks in the nearby forest, and the crazy dude has a penchant for feasting on human flesh.
When the campers wake up, however, not only do they find a bear roaming the campsite, but their teacher is missing . . . and blood is streaked across his tent. Frank and Joe go in search of him, only to find themselves hunted by an ax-wielding man in face paint and bearskins. As they venture farther into the forest, Frank tumbles into a waterfall and Joe finds himself teetering on the edge of dangerous rapids.
Add all that to the black bears prowling the forest, and the boys aren't sure if they'll make it out alive!
Diving into deadly waters...
The world's largest reef exhibit is coming to the Bayport Aquarium. Frank and Joe are stoked for the unveiling of Predator Reef, a three-hundred-thousand-gallon tank that houses small sharks, rays, and thousands of colorful fish. It's also home to the aquarium's new mascot, Captain Hook - a rare and valuable, five-hundred-pound, giant sea turtle.
But instead of a big reveal, the boys get a big disappointment: Captain Hook has gone missing, along with loads of other exotic fish. Is the aquarium the target of a sinister smuggling ring? And can Frank and Joe do damage control before they're trapped in a deadly underwater maze... with no way out?
Three nights. Three riddles. Three robberies.
First, a priceless painting disappears from the Bayport Historical Museum; then, two ancient samurai swords vanish from a private collection. A string of robberies has hit Bayport, and all signs point to the Phantom, a recently released ex-con who last struck more than twenty years ago. There's only one problem: The Phantom has vanished into thin air, and not even Frank and Joe Hardy can track him down.
Then the boys begin receiving threatening notes in the mail, each one containing a strange riddle. And it looks like the Phantom's next target could be the valuable Emerald of Astara, the 2,500-year-old crown jewel of the historical museum. Can the Hardys crack the Phantom's code before he strikes again?
