Back at Oak Hall for another term, Dave Porter finds school life more puzzling than ever. Rumors swirl about a strange figure lurking in the woods, and a frightened letter from a classmate sets the boys on edge. When a small group of classmates disappears, the atmosphere turns from curious to urgent.
Dave draws on the experience of his many past voyages—seas, mountains, and ranches—to piece together clues and keep his friends safe. With his steady commonsense and the help of loyal chums, he uncovers the truth behind the “wild man” tale and leads a careful search for the runaway boys. Listeners will enjoy a blend of mystery, teamwork, and the timeless spirit of a resourceful teen navigating boarding‑school intrigue.
