      The Pumped-Up Pizza Problem - Franklin W. Dixon

      1

      Pizza Pies . . . Pizza Prize

      I wonder what the Power Patrol will morph into today," nine-year-old Frank Hardy said.

      Maybe skeletons, his eight-year-old brother, Joe, said. "Invisible skeletons!"

      Their friend Kevin Saris wrinkled his nose. How would anyone know they’re skeletons if they’re invisible? he asked.

      The boys’ other friend Chet Morton shrugged. Their bones would rattle.

      It was Friday afternoon. The boys were seated on the couch in the Hardys’ den, watching their favorite TV show, The Pumped-Up Power Patrol

      Joe turned to Frank. Don’t you wish we could turn into things when we solve mysteries? he asked.

      Frank nodded. He and Joe loved solving mysteries more than anything. Those who knew Frank and Joe liked to call them the Clues Brothers.

      Their dad, Fenton Hardy, was a detective in Bayport. He often helped them with their cases.

      Check it out, Kevin said. Pumped-Up Pete is turning into a ball of flames.

      Hot stuff! Chet shouted.

      The boys cheered as the human fireball rolled toward the enemy. Suddenly the words We’ll Be Right Back flashed on the screen.

      Another commercial? Joe groaned.

      I like commercials, Chet said. He stood up from the couch. They give me time to grab a snack.

      Wait! Joe shouted. He pulled Chet back on the couch. The Power Patrol is in this commercial.

      Frank stared at the TV. And they’re holding up pizzas, he said.

      Now, that’s what I call a TV dinner, Chet said. He smacked his lips.

      Hey, kids, Pumped-Up Pete said. Check out our new frozen pizzas.

      "Frozen pizzas?" Kevin asked.

      Kevin knew everything about pizzas. His parents owned Pizza Paradise. Sometimes he helped them bake the pies.

      Pumped-Up Power Pizzas are coming to your grocery store! Pumped-Up Phil said.

      There’ll be all kinds, Pumped-Up Pablo said. Like Pumped-Up Pep-peroni, Mighty Mushroom, and Broccoli Blast!

      If you think that’s cool, Pumped-Up Pierre said, we’re having a contest for the best pizza you kids can cook up.

      If your pizza wins, Pumped-Up Phil went on, you’ll get to appear on—

      "The Pumped-Up Power Patrol show!" they shouted together.

      All right! Joe shouted.

      We’ll be at the Bayport Mall this Sunday to choose the best pizza, Pumped-Up Pablo said. So pick up the rules at the Ripe Apple Supermarket and get cookin’.

      Frank, Joe, and Chet jumped up from the couch. They gave one another high fives.

      Let’s go for it, Frank said.

      Chet nodded. We love pizza. And with Kevin on our team, how can we lose?

      Kevin slumped
