Frank Merriwell's Races

Frank Merriwell has a new horse, and trouble is already sniffing around Nemo's flanks. A thousand dollars well spent, thinks Frank, admiring the bay gelding's clean limbs and courageous eye. But at Yale in 1903, a man's enemies don't stay quiet for long, and someone is watching Nemo with very sharp interest. As Frank navigates the complexities of college life, loyal friends, lazy rivals turned suspiciously animated, and strangers who show far too much curiosity about his horse, intrigue tightens like a lasso. Races are coming. Enemies are circling. And Nemo's well-being may depend on whether Frank can outmaneuver those who want him ruined. Burt L. Standish delivers exactly what early 20th-century adventure fiction promised: a hero worth rooting for, a horse worth betting on, and enough whispered conspiracies to keep you turning pages past midnight. For readers who want their adventures young, bright, and laced with old-school camaraderie.
