Radio Boys on the Mexican Border

The year is 1922. For Bob, Frank, and their friend Jack, the miracle of wireless radio has transformed their lives, they can speak across hundreds of miles, voices carried through the air like magic. When Jack, stationed in New Mexico, sends out an urgent call, the boys drop everything. Someone needs help, and the only people who can reach them are the Radio Boys. What begins as a rescue mission soon entangles them in something far more dangerous than a stranded traveler. Smugglers operate in the shadows along the Mexican border, and the boys have stumbled onto an operation that reaches deeper than they could have imagined. With only their radio equipment and their nerve, they must outsmart men who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. This is vintage adventure fiction, an ode to the optimism of the wireless age, when a boy with technical know-how could be a hero. The Radio Boys series captures a moment when radio seemed to promise that any voice could be heard, any friend could be reached, and any danger could be overcome. Perfect for readers who love classic juvenile adventures and stories about boys meeting danger with ingenuity.
