The Hardy Boys and the Mystery of the Migrating Chairs
The Hardy Boys were happy to be in college at all. Their disastrous uncovering of Mayor Bailey’s white slavery ring had led to their forced departure from the small New England town of Bayport. Shortly thereafter, their retired police detective father, Felton Hardy, died of a massive stroke while in bed with a local prostitute. Things did not look good for the boys, until they were taken in by Morton Dumpster, their late mother’s brother. Only now, living in the dangerous city of Great Neck, could they dare to hope about getting admitted to college.
Unfortunately, all their troubles had taken a great toll on their grades. To add insult to injury, most of the Ivy League schools had ties to Mayor Bailey and his family, so they had to settle for a city college located in Flushing, Queens.
Letdown but still game, they enrolled at Queens College. After being admitted for the Spring 1983 semester, they quickly registered for the freshman classes. Frank, having earned several credits while working on The Case of the Stolen Lunch, found that he had Upper Freshman standing, and managed to get into better classes than his blonde-haired, seventeen-year-old sibling.
Finally ready, the Hardy Boys bought their books and attended their first week of classes at Queens. Afterwards, they met for lunch at the Caf.
