The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew have joined forces several times, both in print and on the television screen.
The young sleuths often crossed paths in the early 1980s. They first met in 1981, when Wanderer Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, published Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: Super Sleuths. In 1984, Wanderer released a second volume of Super Sleuths, as well as Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Campfire Stories.
In 1984 and 1985, Wanderer published the Be a Detective Mystery Stories (by Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon), which were similar in format to the Choose Your Own Adventure books:
- The Secret Of The Knight's Sword
- Danger On Ice
- The Feathered Serpent
- Secret Cargo
- The Alaskan Mystery
- The Missing Money Mystery
Finally, from 1988 to 1998, Archway Paperbacks published the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys SuperMysteries (by Carolyn Keene) which were based on the characters from the Hardy Boys Casefiles and Nancy Drew Files series. As the use of the Keene pseudonym indicates, the books were targeted mainly at Nancy Drew readers.
