Bookroo's summary
In Bayport, a Halloween contest with lavish prizes spirals into chaos. Frank and Joe Hardy must navigate spooky settings and outwit fright-masked bandits. As secrets from a horror movie star's past emerge, the stakes rise. Will the Hardys keep the contest fair, or will the bad guys claim victory? With tricks up their sleeves, the brothers race against time in a thrilling chase through the Halloween parade. Can they unravel the mystery before it's too late?
From the publisher
THE LOCAL HALLOWEEN CONTEST IS TURNING INTO A REAL FRIGHT FEST! Bayport citizens are wild about the Merchant Association’s new Halloween mystery contest. The prizes for winning include DVD players, a classic motorcycle, a boat, and even flying lessons! It’s sure to be the biggest social event of the fall season. When big prizes are up for grabs, though, some people will do anything to win – and it’s up to the Hardys to keep the competition honest. As they try to keep things in line, the Hardy boys and their friends contend with spooky settings, fright-masked bandits, a chase through the Halloween parade, and a horror movie star with secrets “buried” in his past. Soon it looks like the bad guys have this contest in the bag. Fortunately, the good guys – Frank and Joe – still have a few tricks left!
