Motor Matt's Make-And-Break; Or, Advancing the Spark of Friendship

When Prebbles, clerk to a crooked broker, receives word that his estranged son Newt has fallen in with dangerous company, he knows exactly who to call: Motor Matt, the king of the wheel and master of any machine that moves. Racing against time in his aëroplane, Matt, his loyal friend Joe McGlory, and the resourceful Ping Pong launch into a high-stakes rescue mission across uncertain skies. But the path to Newt leads through his father's shadowy business associates, and saving the young man from bad influences will require more than just mechanical ingenuity, it will demand forgiveness, courage, and the kind of friendship that weathers any storm. Set in the heady early days of aviation when flying was still a daring marvel, this installment of the Motor Matt series blends breakneck adventure with a tender father-son reconciliation at its heart. The action zips along, but it's the human relationships, Prebbles' guilt, Matt's loyalty, the call of redemption, that give this vintage adventure its lasting warmth. Perfect for readers who want their thrills with emotional stakes and their heroes fundamentally decent.
