You made an error in the Clue Brothers section:
"Clues Brother #59: Night of the Werewolf*
Clues Brother #60: Mystery of the Samurai Sword*
Clues Brother #8: The Mystery of Cabin Island*
Clues Brother #116: Rock 'n' Roll Renegades*"
Those are all originals or digests.
You also misspelt Hardy Boys as "Hardy Hoys" in the first sentence/
