Synopsis

The Golden Boys Rescued by the Radio (1923) is an adventure novel by L.P. Wyman and one of seven books in his vastly underrated-and relatively unknown-Golden Boys series.

Each novel follows the adventures of Bob and Jack Golden, brothers from Maine with curious minds and adventurous hearts. Together, often alongside their trusted friend Rex Dale, the Golden Boys use their problem-solving skills and wilderness experience to overcome danger, discover strange places, and grow into fine young men.

While fishing on a lake near their family cabin in the woods of northern Maine, brothers Bob and Jack Golden encounter a strange man with an accent. Curious-and a little worried-at first, the boys return to the peace of the great outdoors for a few more hours. That night, however, a man tries to break into their cabin, and after scaring him off with a gun the brothers wait until morning before making their way home to Skowhegan. There to meet them on their arrival is revenue officer Jim Carson, who is desperate for help on a case involving bootleggers from Canada. Eager to get to the bottom of the previous night's mystery, as well as to put their newly invented radio to the test, the Golden Boys agree to help Jim. The ensuing adventure, which involves a vanishing cabin, daring rescues, and abundant danger, the Golden Boys will need their wits about them, as well as to use every skill they can muster. With its brilliant blend of detective and adventure fiction, L.P. Wyman's The Golden Boys Rescued by the Radio is an absolute thrill ride from start to finish.

L.P. Wyman's The Golden Boys Rescued by the Radio is the work of an inventive author, and is both easy to read and difficult to put down. Published several years before the debut of The Hardy Boys series, which would dominate young adult fiction for decades to come, The Golden Boys series is long overdue for the attention and appreciation it deserves. Although originally published for an audience of teenage boys, Wyman's series is perfect for children of all ages and genders, as well as for adults looking to return to the simple, exciting fiction of their youth.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of L.P. Wyman's The Golden Boys Rescued by the Radio is a newly unearthed classic of young adult literature reimagined for modern readers.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

L.P. Wyman (1873-1950) was an author of adventure novels aimed at a juvenile audience and Professor of Chemistry--and later, Dean of Faculty--at Pennsylvania Military College. Born in Skowhegan, Maine, Wyman wrote several sequences of books for young boys, including The Golden Boys, The Lakewood Boys, and The Hunniwell Boys, the latter of which is a notable contribution to the Airship or Airplane Boys subgenre of science fiction, popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
