The Golden Boys With the Lumber Jacks by L. P. Wyman Pdf
The Golden Boys With the Lumber Jacks (1923) is an adventure novel by L.P. Wyman and one of seven books in his vastly underrated—and relatively unknown—Golden Boys series. Each novel follows the adventures of Bob and Jack Golden, brothers from Maine with curious minds and adventurous hearts. Together, often alongside their trusted friend Rex Dale, the Golden Boys use their problem-solving skills and wilderness experience to overcome danger, discover strange places, and grow into fine young men. Traveling north from Pennsylvania to spend Christmas break with their parents and sister in Skowhegan, Maine, the Golden brothers get stuck in a snowstorm on the side of the highway. After a night of hard work—and a dangerous rescue—Bob and Jack Golden make it home in one piece. But their relief does not last long. They soon learn that their father’s logging business is in trouble—a deed has disappeared, and a tract of land in the Maine woods purchased by Mr. Golden has been dubiously claimed by his rival Ben Donahue. Hoping to help their father in any way possible, the brothers head north to his logging camp. When they get there, they discover a crew of lumberjacks not just worried about fulfilling an enormous order for spruce, but utterly terrified by nightly visits from a ghost. With its brilliant blend of detective, supernatural, and adventure fiction, L.P. Wyman’s The Golden Boys With the Lumber Jacks is an absolute thrill ride from start to finish that tests its heroes’ hearts and minds while keeping the reader engaged and ultimately, wanting more. L.P. Wyman’s The Golden Boys With the Lumber Jacks is the work of a talented author, and is both easy to read and difficult to put down. Published several years before the debut of The Hardy Boys series, which would dominate young adult fiction for decades to come, The Golden Boys series is long overdue for the attention and appreciation it deserves. Although originally published for an audience of teenage boys, Wyman’s series is perfect for children of all ages and genders, as well as for adults looking to return to the simple, exciting fiction of their youth. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of L.P. Wyman’s The Golden Boys With the Lumber Jacks is a newly unearthed classic of young adult literature reimagined for modern readers.
