Bookroo's summary

Frank and Joe Hardy are on the case when a rare comic book, rumored to hold a treasure map, disappears from a castle during a Halloween ball. With their LARPing skills put to the test, the brothers navigate a maze of dungeons and deception. Can they unravel the mystery before it's too late? Dive into a world where anything can happen, and every clue could lead to hidden treasure or deeper secrets. Will the Hardy boys outsmart the shadows lurking in the castle's depths?

From the publisher

Brother detectives Frank and Joe search a hidden castle for clues to help them find a missing comic book in the nineteenth book in the thrilling Hardy Boys Adventures series. Frank and Joe have been hanging out at Sir Robert’s Comic Kingdom, the local comic and gaming shop, and got the exclusive invite to this year’s Halloween costume ball at Bayport’s one and only castle. Sir Robert plans to use the big event to unveil his most prized possession, a super rare comic that is rumored to contain a map to buried treasure. Sir Robert agrees to show his store regulars–who now include Frank and Joe–a sneak preview of the comic before the party. But when he goes to unlock the fireproof casing, he finds the book is gone. It will take all of Frank and Joe’s recently acquired LARPing skills to solve this case. Anything can happen in a castle full of dungeons and deception. Can the Hardy boys keep up?
