I voted neutrally on both because actually I can't remember that much about the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books, even though I read dozens of them at the usual age. I can't recall which of the boys was the older one, shockingly enough, and drew a total blank when it came to the names of Nancy's friends. Never was that good with remembering names, though, even when it comes to real people.
oh! MY! They are SOOO cool. Trixie is all Tomboy and Honey is all sweetness and Jim and Brian just GUH and Dan and Diana are fun, and why can't I remember Trixie's "almost-twin" brother's name? And the Bob Whites were the PERFECT club and Moms is neat, and these books taught me all about waldorf salad ;). Plus, there are occasionally horses and always great adventure and fun. And Trixie was FAR from perfect and never a priss ;)
