The Racer Boys; Or, The Mystery of the Wreck

Clarence Young

Adventure, Children's Literature, Fiction

Two brothers. One whale. A mystery drowned in salt water. Frank and Andy Racer are inseparable, bound by blood and an unquenchable thirst for adventure on the open water. When they enter a high-stakes boat race that will test their skills and courage, neither brother expects to encounter something far more dangerous than any competitor: a massive whale rising from the depths, its enormous form threatening to shatter their vessel and swallow them whole. One brother is left fighting for survival as the wreckage scatters across the churning sea. But the whale's attack was only the beginning. Washed ashore and battered, the boys discover something far more troubling in the wreckage: the shattered remains of another motorboat, long since sunk, its secrets(hidden beneath the waves for reasons neither brother can fathom. As they piece together what happened, they realize the ocean is keeping a deadly secret and someone will do anything to ensure it stays buried. For readers who grew up on river adventures, who dreamed of speed and danger and the open sea. A vintage boy's adventure that still crackles with excitement.
