Three brothers. One fortune. A whole lot of trouble. Dick, Tom, and Sam Rover are college boys with more on their minds than just baseball and exams, they're hunting for a missing fortune tied to the Stanhope estate, and they're not the only ones looking. When a river steamer carrying a load of seminary girls catches fire, the Rover boys don't hesitate. They leap into action, organizing a daring rescue that establishes them as the kind of heroes who run toward danger while everyone else runs away. But their troubles are just beginning. A scheming rival named Tad Sobber is hot on the same trail, and he'll use every trick in the book to get to the Stanhope money first. This is early 20th-century adventure at its most wholesome and heart-pounding: fierce brotherly loyalty, high-stakes mystery, and the kind of courage that makes you want to climb right into the pages. The Rover Boys series helped define American juvenile fiction, and this installment delivers exactly what fans came for, fast-paced action, clean LIVELY fun, and three brothers you can't help but root for.
