The boys get a call from a stranger. Anytime someone new mentions that strangers, the boys trust them, too. Then they get kidnapped. Obviously.

The boys almost die, people are shot, cars are wrecked, mysteries abound across the country, and the boys trust several strangers.

This is a bad normal. 

We explore what characteristics make the hottest teeth. Also, relationships.

We begin to dissect the differences between the 1920's original and the 1960's rewrite of book 4: The Missing Chums. Turns out, they added a LOT, removed a lot, and kept some really weird things.

I did it. We did it. You did it. 

No read-alongs. Just a celebration of another book finished. 

The boys ambush the enemy. There are no negative consequences for any of their actions.

In this penultimate chapter of book 4, Frank seizes control of the Police and the Coast Guard while Joe listens to criminals explaining the details of all of their crimes.

The boys-- especially Joe-- demonstrate their disastrous instincts multiple times and get captured. Again.
