About This Book

A teenage boat owner and his companion test and race a new motor launch on a scenic river, facing mechanical breakdowns, a suspicious rival with a faster craft, and escalating threats that culminate in daring chases and a rescue. The narrative mixes fast-paced action on the water with problem-solving scenes where mechanical know-how and steady nerves avert disaster. Episodes recall earlier summer exploits, camp plans, and confrontations with unsavory characters, while friendships, loyalty, and outdoor resourcefulness drive the plot. The structure is episodic, with each outing revealing new hazards and opportunities for courage and ingenuity.
