The Chet Morton Series
Chet is one of the most popular characters in The Hardy Boys. In fact, by the mid-sixties, Chet had become so popular that in 1965 the Stratemeyer Syndicate was planning to develop a series about him and his hobbies.
It seems that the Stratemeyer Syndicate did a lot of work on this series (even some complete chapters were written), yet the Syndicate didn’t ever begin publishing it.
A list of proposed titles in the Chet Morton series were found in the Stratemeyer Archives at the New York Public Library.
- 1. Chet Morton and the Funny Putty Caper
- 2. Chet Morton and the Talking Turkey
- 3. Chet Morton and the Mighty Muscle Builder
- 4. Chet Morton and the Stolen Flea Circus
- 5. Chet Morton and his Electronic Exam Passer
- 6. Chet Morton and his Bird-Brain Blimp
- 7. Chet Morton and the Monkey’s Uncle
- 8. Chet Morton and the Flying Fruitcake
- 9. Chet Morton and the Mystery at Tucks Cove
- 10 Chet Morton and the Mystery at the Friar Tuck House
- 11 Chet Morton and the Mystery of Ben's Bat
As shown by the titles this series was going to be a lot more humorous than The Hardy Boys series.
