Extreme Dangerby Franklin W. DixonMystery165 pagesExtreme Danger is a story of two brothers named Frank and Joe Hardy. They are part of an organization called ATAC which stands for American Teens Against Crime. They go to Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia because a person is threatening to hurt the athletes competeing in the X Games. They both trsvel to Philadelphia on their motorcycles. They meet a girl who is competeing in the X Games named Jenna. She shows them around Philadelphia. While she was practicing, 2 of her friends get shot. Their is a really annoying reporter who wants to know everything. They meet the victims who got shot. The meet a skateboard shop owner who used to be a very famous skateboarder. He gets murderer at the end of the book. The go to the X Games and suprisingly meet their friend Chet. They get a note from Mr.X and fight him to the end. The police put Carter in jail.I really liked this book for several reasons. First of all, the author started the book of with a good beginning. Joe and Frank are falling through the air with broken parachutes. They both grap a hold of the bad guy and climb to the top of him so he breaks their fall. Another reason is that their are high tech equipment. Their dad bought both Frank and Joe motorcycles with polished chrome controls, high grade leather seats, stainless steel exhaust pipes, hydraullic clutch, optimized suspension, CD player, security tracking device and a GPS. Another reason that I liked the book was that it was full of action from the beginning of the book to the end. At the end of the book, Frank and Joe fight Mr.X. The fight was really intense because Mr.X was good at fighting. Mr.X was right about to give the finishing blow when suddenly WHAM!!!. Mr.X was knocked of his feet by one of Jenna's friend, Eddie Mundy. It turned out that Eddie was also an ATAC agent just like Joe and Frank. When the first met, the suspected Eddie of hurting the athletes but after what happened at the end of the book, they are all friends. I love the whole Hardy Boys series and I hope Franklin W. Dixon writes some more really good books.
I've been meaning to start reading this series in order for a while now, and I'm finally getting around to it. This book was read in its entirety on a day-long bus trip, and like any good book, it was a great way to pass the time.I'm still a little confused as to how the culprit's motive was supposed to work. Not to mention a little surprised at the culprit himself. But I guess that's how it works, and it does make sense when I think about it.Anyway, great book. I already read number two, so I'm skipping that and heading to number three: Boardwalk Bust
What do You think about Extreme Danger (2005)?
Mr. X turned out to be Carter Bean, a paramedic who it said saved Ollie when Ollie had a career-ending injury. Frank and Joe with help from Eddie Mundy, someone who Frank and Joe thought to be suspicious who turned out to be a member of ATAC, Frank and Joe's secret mission group defeated Mr. X and after that, Mr. X was arrested. The next day, Frank, Joe, and Chet, their best friend back at home, went back home.This book was amazing! Wished that there was another chapter from Frank's POV because

Extreme Danger is the first book in The Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers series by Franklin W. Dixon.There is a mysterious person—known as Mr. X—who tries to sabotage the Big Air Games. The victims are top extreme athletes in the country, as well as thousands of spectators. And there may be a group of extremists working together. Or there may only be one. Frank and Joe, who work for the A.T.A.C. (American Teens Against Crime), must work out the person who is trying to sabotage this event. Despite being aimed towards younger audience, this was an enjoyable read.
