HISTORIC --Callie Shaw went WITH the Hardys on the case. In 1929 she had said, "Boys have all the luck. They get to go. Girls just have to stay home." She for decades was Last-in-the-Cast Callie, or LOST didn't even APPEAR in the book this based on Clue of the Screeching Owl, made niece of missing Captain Maguire to bring her along. She was chased in woods by wild animal, trapped in fire, BUT missed the climatic confrontation, disappointingly displaced by dumbbell Chet MORON. It was UNFAIR--she had the RIGHT to be there, to save her beloved uncle. Makers realized there was not enough time room, for both Callie and Chet so HE got the-- literally-- bums rush, one walk=on after. . Callie was MORE important here and in season then she EVER was in the books until then, and for a decade AFTER until the great Casefiles Series (1987-1998), n occasional regular notably #112 Demolition Mission, 1992, bound and gagged ONLY time in it in trunk of junker Joe at the wheel of in a demolition derby. It was too bad she was NOT in succeeding seasons, especially Campus Terror, could have least guested undercover in sorority kidnapped, bound, gagged, been HISTORIC, had NEVER happened in books until then, until Casefiles #8 See No Evil, 1988.. Sadly strangely, she has been GONE since 2005, when he encountered Frank out jogging, surveyed the vandalism of Bayport High, "We said our goodbyes" Frank narrated and she jogged off to oblivion, not a MENTION even of her SINCE.
