The Hardy Boys are back, but not as full of brotherly love as in the original series.  In Break-Up the boys are undercover on a TV reality show, something like a combination of Fear Factor, Amazing Race, and Survivor.  The show features sibling couples who compete with other couples in very dangerous activities.  The show ‘takes pride in sending contestants to the hospital.’  Yikes!  On top of already being dangerous, it seems the stunts are also rigged for failure and accidents.  The producer of the show, Ms. Hunt, has the job of keeping the action dangerous and secret, better for ratings, of course.  The Hardy Boys think she may be behind all the sabotage, however, she turns up murdered.  Lots of mystery and intrigue.  The story line is fine, however, I find the graphics of Frank and Joe disturbing.  On the cover, they’re at fisticuffs and teeth are bared, snarling at one another.  Why do they have to become enemies?  Kids will like the familiar reality show vibe plus all the action.
