''The Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers'' is a detective fiction series of books published by Aladdin Paperbacks (an imprint of Simon & Schuster), which replaced The Hardy Boys Digest paperbacks in early 2005. All the books in the series have been written under the pen name of Franklin W. Dixon. == Series Background == The ''Undercover Brothers'' is about two teenage brother detectives, Frank and Joe Hardy, who are the sons of world famous PI Fenton Hardy. Although there are many similarities in this series to previous Hardy Boys series, there are also many changes, for example:: * The Hardy boys are undercover agents for ATAC (American Teens Against Crime), a top secret government organization, co-founded by their father, and are solving more realistic and violent crimes. Since it is a top-secret organization, Frank and Joe often need to make up excuses to convince their mother and aunt to let them go places. * The books in this series are written in first-person narrative style with Frank and Joe alternating chapters and often interrupting each other. * The Hardy boys' aunt's name is shortened from Gertrude to Trudy. It is revealed in ''Hurricane Joe'' why she shortened her name to Trudy. This version is much younger than the character in other Hardy Boys series. * The Hardy boys' long-time girlfriends, Callie Shaw and Iola Morton, appear in the books, but Frank and Joe are no longer dating them. Other friends from the original series are occasionally mentioned but never play important roles as they did in the past. * The Hardys have a pet parrot named Playback. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Undercover Brothers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
