About the author

Frank A. Warner is a lightly documented author whose name appears on a number of juvenile adventure novels, especially the Bobby Blake series. From available catalog and book-listing sources, he is connected with dozens of titles featuring school competitions, wilderness travel, mystery, and teamwork.

His books include titles such as Bobby Blake at Rockledge School, Bobby Blake on the School Nine, Bobby Blake in the Frozen North, and Bobby Blake on a Plantation. He is also credited with Bob Chase with the Big Moose Hunters, showing the same taste for brisk action and outdoor adventure.

Reliable biographical detail about his life appears to be scarce, so it is safest to remember him mainly through the books themselves: energetic, plot-driven stories written for young readers who enjoyed courage, friendship, and a steady stream of peril.
