The Ranger Boys and the Border Smugglers

Three spirited teens form the core of Maine’s Ranger service: Garry Boone, the natural leader whose father owns the town’s lumber empire; Phil Durant, a quick‑witted French‑speaking youngster who keeps his language skills hidden for a good cause; and Dick Wallace, the sturdy, good‑hearted ward of Garry’s father. Their past exploits have already seen them rescue a lost child, outwit a devious guide, and earn a high‑tech wireless set as a reward, proving they can handle danger in the deep woods.

Now the Customs chief has a new assignment for them—track down a covert band of fur smugglers slipping across the Canadian border. Disguised as ordinary campers, the boys must use their ranger training, secret badges, and wits to uncover a hidden smuggling lane that has eluded the authorities. Their journey promises tense tracking, clever clues, and the kind of forest adventure that tests friendship and courage.
