List of The Hardy Boys Characters - Chet Morton

Chet Morton

Chester "Chet" Morton appears in most of The Hardy Boys books. He often tags along on the boy's little adventures. He is portrayed as a stout fellow and is often described as "plump" or "chubby." His stature, and un-athletic nature make him the frequent source of comic relief. His whimsical nature is frequently a distraction for him, though it occasionally leads to an unexpected break in the case. Throughout the original canon, Chet is always diving into new hobbies like Botany in The Shore Road Mystery.
