Review: MY MOTHER DID NOT RAISE AVERAGE CHILDREN!!! - When I was in the fourth grade ( more years ago than I care to remember), my mother went to see my teacher for the annual parent/teacher conference. During this meeting, my mother asked my teacher about my reading ability. My teacher told her that my reading was at "grade level." In other words, I was in the fourth grade and my reading ability was at a normal stage of development for the fourth grade. HOWEVER, when my mother heard this, she became quite alarmed because my teacher was telling her that her son's reading level was AVERAGE. My mother did NOT raise AVERAGE children. lol So, she responded to my teacher's statement by saying; "Well, what can we do about this?!" I'm sure that my teacher, thinking she had delivered good news, was momentarily puzzled by my mother's response. However, after she figured out that, for my mother, "average" was not an option, she told my mother that the only way for my reading to improve is for me to read more. And, in order for me to read more, she would have to get me something to read that I enjoyed reading. So, that Christmas, my mother went shopping in the children's section of a bookstore. There, she found the Hardy Boys Mystery series and bought the first 2 books for me. The first book, she read to me at bedtime. Two or three chapters each night. The second book, I had to read for myself. I have never forgotten that book. The title was The Missing Chums. About three-quarters of the way into the book, the plot was so exciting, I found my heart pounding. That's when I fell in love with The Hardy Boys Mystery series. During the next year-and-a-half, I read the entire series of, at that time, 38 books. When my reading level was tested in the sixth grade, my reading level came in at a12th grade level. In other words, I was reading at a level that was to be expected for a senior in high school. I would like to say that my mother was delighted by this. However, she was merely satisfied because my reading level had merely increased to what it was supposed to be - well above average. Lol I'm very grateful to my mother for giving me those books. Over the years, my reading ability has served me well. I have now purchased a five book box set for an 11 year old young man of my acquaintance. I hope he enjoys them, and benefits from them, as much as I did. ## Features - Hardy Boys Vol 1 Vol 5 HCover's - It ensures you get the best usage for a longer period ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,457 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #39 in Children's Siblings Books (Books) #50 in Children's Mystery, Detective, & Spy #249 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,933 Reviews | ## Images ![- Hardy Boys Starter Set - Books 1-5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kReg+TyWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a 10-year-old boy! *by A***Y on December 31, 2025* I bought this set for my 10-year-old son to get him more interested in reading.

He truly enjoyed the first book because it had a lot more action than some of the other books he had been reading. His mother tells me he has already started the second book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hardy Boys Starter Set - Books 1-5 (The Hardy Boys) - Nancy Drew Starter Set - Books 1-5 - The Boxcar Children Mysteries Boxed Set 1-4: The Boxcar Children; Surprise Island; The Yellow House; Mystery Ranch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4102223-hardy-boys-starter-set-books-1-5](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4102223-hardy-boys-starter-set-books-1-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
