The Rover Boys on the Farm by Edward Stratemeyer

Description

The Rover Boys books, written by Edward Stratemeyer under his well-known pen name, are the founding series of American boys’ fiction — dozens of volumes that taught generations of young readers that adventure, loyalty and a sense of humour could meet on any road. The Rover Boys on the Farm, the twelfth of the series, takes the three brothers — dependable Dick, mischievous Tom, and resolute Sam — home to the family’s Valley Brook farm in upstate New York, with one last term at Putnam Hall still to come.

Scarcely are they home before a wrong turn on the mountain, a mysterious cave and a man named Dangler’s shady dealings stir up the old Rover knack for trouble-finding. Back at Putnam Hall the brothers square off against the scheming Tad Sobber, test their friendships at the ice-cream establishment and the school party, and enjoy the frosty glories of winter — a bob-sled race, Christmas at the farm and a skating contest — before the bittersweet command of “good-bye to Putnam Hall.”

For young readers and the young at heart

• Clean, upbeat adventure without a slow page.
• Family and friendship at the centre — every scrap resolved fairly.
