    About this ebook

    Frank and Joe bring their detective skills to the athletic arena in this all-new Hardy Boys Secret Files mystery!

    It’s time for Field Day at Bayport Elementary and all the kids are excited! Whatever grade wins gets a pizza party, and the person with the highest personal score also gets a special prize. But when the field equipment is sabotaged the day before the events are supposed to start, it looks like Field Day might not happen after all—unless someone can find out who is behind the mess of ruined rackets, tangled jump ropes, and flattened balloons. Can Frank and Joe crack the case and save Field Day?

      Bayport Elementary’s annual Field Day is here, and all the kids are excited, including Frank and Joe. But two days before the event, someone has a field day with the Field Day equipment—and makes a total mess of everything! And if no one confesses, Field Day will be canceled!

      Could the school bully, Adam Ackerman, be the culprit? Or is it the shy girl Rebecca, who has made it clear she hates sports? It’s up to Frank and Joe to piece the clues together before the fun is ruined for everyone!

      FIELD DAY FIASCO!

      Where’s Mr. Jenkins? Joe asked impatiently.

      Right there. Frank pointed to the gym teacher. He was jingling some keys and hurrying toward the shed door.

      Stand back, people, Mr. Jenkins called out cheerfully. Let’s do this in an organized fashion.

      He stuck a key in the lock and swung open the shed door. But when he looked inside, he gasped.

      What’s wrong? a kid called out.

      This shed is a mess! the teacher exclaimed. It looks like someone tried to destroy the Field Day equipment!
