Terror On Tour by Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon is and super mystery story or what happens when the Girl detective Nancy Drew and the Undercover Brothers Hardy Boys come together to solve the mystery.
Nancy Drew is a fictional character, a sleuth in an American mystery series created by publisher Edward Stratemeyer as the female counterpart to his Hardy Boys series. The character first appeared in 1930. The books are ghostwritten by a number of authors and published under the collective pseudonym Carolyn Keene. Over the decades, the character evolved in response to changes in US culture and tastes. The Hardy Boys, brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, are fictional characters who appear in several mystery series for children and teens. The series revolves around the teenagers who are amateur sleuths, solving cases that stumped their adult counterparts. The characters were created by American writer Edward Stratemeyer, the founder of book-packaging firm Stratemeyer Syndicate. The books themselves were written by several ghostwriters under the collective pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon.
This is the first in the series of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys are working together on any case they happen to get involved. The characters aren't as old fashioned as in the original Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew,they're more like today's modern teens.
They did work together fairly well as a team and I did like that Frank went from "don't work with us, we're trying to protect you" to "let's work on a plan together that will only work if we work together" and put George's and Bess' expertise to good use. A quick read, there's still a bit of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys charm in there with just enough of a mystery
"So, Joe, what do you make of ATAC sending us on a mission without telling us what we're supposed to be looking for?"
"Frank, it's Rockapazooma! Who cares? We can handle this."
"I don't know."
"So, George, are you coming to Rockapazooma with me, or what?"
"How could I miss a chance to see my fave band, Lethal Injection, live? Even Bess wants in. But we're only going on one condition: If a case crops up, you'll leave it to one of the security guards. Just this once, Nancy? So we can actually listen to the music?"
"Where's the mystery in that?"
One rock concert. One big crime.
Three of the best teen detectives of all time.
