Description

Two spirited brothers spend their summers on the breezy waters of Harbor View, turning every sunrise into a challenge of strength and wit. Frank, the older and more serious of the pair, constantly measures his younger brother Andy’s carefree energy against his own steady determination. A light‑hearted rowing race across the inlet quickly becomes a test of skill, teasing rivalry, and the promise of chocolate sodas for the loser.

When a massive whale suddenly breaches the calm, Frank’s skiff is struck, sending both boys into a chaotic scramble for survival. The unexpected wreck leaves them clinging to debris and confronting a mystery that lurks beneath the waves. As they pull themselves ashore, they discover clues suggesting that the accident may be more than mere chance, pulling the Racer brothers into a daring rescue and a hunt for answers before the tide washes everything away.

About the author

CY

Clarence Young

Best known as the name behind the fast-paced Motor Boys adventures, this was actually a Stratemeyer Syndicate house pseudonym rather than one single writer. The books helped define early 20th-century boys' series fiction, mixing cars, travel, and cliffhanger action.
