#10 The Great Pumpkin Smash

THE SCENE: Bayport Zoo's annual Halloween carnival.

THE FACTS: Frank and Joe check out the Boo-seum of Pumpkin Arts, but instead of seeing gourd-eous creations, they find a tent littered with bits of pulverized pumpkins!

THE CRIME: The carnival's organizer discovers that this was no accident. And unless the culprits are caught by the end of the day, this will be the last Boo at the Zoo ... forever!

THE SUSPECTS: Adam Ackerman, Bayport's biggest bully, whom Fran and Joe overheard talking about secret plans, then saw him carrying a giant club! Victor the Constrictor, the hero known for his smashing abilities, who was laughed off the carnival's stage after he was defeated by a pumpkin. Oliver Splathall, Bayport's kid artist extraordinaire, whose pumpkin sculpture was rejected by the Boo-seum.

THE MISSION: It's up to the Hardy Boys -- and you -- to solve this pumpkin puzzle!
