The Hardy Boys 25 # The Secret Panel

The clues and twists kept me engaged, but I wonder what inspired the particular puzzle design and if it was planned to challenge kids' problem-solving skills.

The kids work so seamlessly together, which is inspiring, but I’m curious whether Dixon intended to show perfect cooperation or if he had other dynamics in mind.

The crime-solving adventure feels very rooted in a specific era, and I wonder how much research went into creating that authentic atmosphere.
