The Search for the Silver City: A Tale of Adventure in Yucatan
When Teddy Wright's summer plans crumble, a rival's invitation offers something better: a voyage to the legendary Silver City, a fabled metropolis hidden in the Yucatan jungle and whispered to be built entirely of silver. At seventeen, Teddy boards the Sea Dream with his companion Neal Emery, trading the failed Adirondacks trip for the open sea and the promise of ancient mystery. The yacht becomes a world unto itself, forging friendships and testing courage as the young adventurers sail toward a legend that has lured explorers for centuries. Otis writes with the breathless energy of his era, capturing the pure hunger for discovery that drove boys' adventure fiction at its best. The Silver City itself remains always ahead, always out of reach, a shimmering goal that transforms ordinary boys into something more. This is vintage juvenile adventure: exuberant, optimistic, and unafraid to let its young hero dream impossibly big.
