Consequently, my sons didn't read them either. I wonder if it's too late to try them.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-10056634532570342312015-12-14T20:46:49.438-05:002015-12-14T20:46:49.438-05:00Wow.

Fascinating reading about his ghost writing!<br />I, too, loved reading The Bobbsey Twins series. I have old copies of Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and Trixie Belden books. <br />(An aside: my husband enjoys reading Clive Cussler's books, and Cussler uses ghost writers, also.)<br />I had no idea that McFarlane's wife wrote one of The Hardy Boys. Makes me want to get that book and see if I can spot differences. <br /> ....Such an interesting read, and I thank you for sharing those links with us. <br />Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.com
