The Firebird Rocket
Book 57 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy become involved in a case centered on a Firebird rocket. The investigation forces them to make sense of experimental or advanced technology and people competing to control it, while suspicious people work to keep the real explanation hidden. The brothers combine observation, teamwork, and a willingness to enter dangerous situations as the clues develop into a larger scheme. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure blends science-and-technology adventure with the series’ familiar fast-moving juvenile detection, keeping the emphasis on uncovering the human motives behind an attention-grabbing mystery.
