The Golden Boys and Their New Electric Cell (1922) is an adventure
novel by L.P. Wyman and one of seven books in his vastly
underrated-and relatively unknown-Golden Boys series. Each novel
follows the adventures of Bob and Jack Golden, brothers from Maine
with curious minds and adventurous hearts. Together, often
alongside their trusted friend Rex Dale, the Golden Boys use their
problem-solving skills and wilderness experience to overcome
danger, discover strange places, and grow into fine young men. Hard
at work in their state-of-the-art laboratory, the Golden Boys
invent a powerful electric cell. Realizing it works exceedingly
well, they soon turn their thoughts to the annual motorboat race,
held on the nearby Hayden Lake, and only days away. Thinking of the
glory awaiting them should they win, Jack and Bob Golden devote
themselves to attaching their new electric cell to their boat, the
Sprite's, motor. Meanwhile, the Jenkins boys, who hope to take the
race for themselves in their boat, the Winner, have been doing
their best to spy on the brothers and their invention. As the day
of the race finally arrives, the Golden Boys must overcome their
nerves, as well as best the Jenkins brothers' attempts at cheating,
in order to claim victory. Although they win, their pride soon
disappears-news of the electric cell has spread, and Bob is
kidnapped in an attempt to steal the design! The Golden Boys and
Their New Electric Cell is a story of twists and turns with a
message of perseverance and a passion for adventure. L.P. Wyman's
The Golden Boys and Their New Electric Cell is the work of a
talented author. It is a timeless tale inspired by Wyman's
experience as a chemist, and is both easy to read and difficult to
put down. Published several years before the debut of The Hardy
Boys series, which would dominate young adult fiction for decades
to come, The Golden Boys series is long overdue for the attention
and appreciation it deserves. Although originally published for an
audience of teenage boys, Wyman's series is perfect for children of
all ages and genders, as well as for adults looking to return to
the simple, exciting fiction of their youth. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of L.P. Wyman's The Golden Boys and Their New Electric Cell is a
newly unearthed classic of young adult literature reimagined for
modern readers.
