The Golden Boys at the Haunted Camp (1924) 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. The story begins with
a mysterious, late-night phone call. Mr. Stokes, an acquaintance of
their friend Rex Dale, is on his way to meet the Golden Boys at
their military school near Philadelphia. In the morning, Bob and
Jack Golden speak with Mr. Stokes, who tells them he has bought a
camp near their home in Skowhegan, Maine, only to discover-after a
series of accidents and mysterious events-that the site is haunted!
The very next morning, the Golden Boys get on their motorcycles and
begin the long journey north. After several days at the camp with
no sign of the ghost, the Golden Boys return to the peaceful days
of their youth, tracking and fishing together in the deep woods of
Maine. Lulled into a state of calm, the brothers are terrified when
a strange light begins to shine on the wall of their bunkhouse at
night. Collecting themselves, Bob and Jack realize the light is
transmitting a message in Morse code, and soon find its source-high
up on the peak of Mt. Katahdin! As The Golden Boys at the Haunted
Camp unfolds, and as the mystery begins to unravel, no reader will
want the excitement to end. L.P. Wyman's The Golden Boys at the
Haunted Camp is the work of a talented author, 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 at the
Haunted Camp is a newly unearthed classic of young adult literature
reimagined for modern readers.
