Summary "The Shadow Passes" by Roy J. Snell is a mystery story for boys written in the late 1930s. It follows the adventures of two cousins, Johnny and Lawrence, living in the Matanuska Valley of Alaska, as they engage in various pursuits, including catching exotic animals alive and aiding the Coast Guard against suspicious activities along the coast. The narrative blends themes of adventure, wildlife, and youthful ambition against a backdrop of the rugged and captivating Alaskan wilderness. The opening of the story introduces Johnny and Lawrence as they engage in a thrilling winter quest to capture a silver fox on the Matanuska River. The boys, determined to catch the elusive creature, utilize their skills on skates to chase it, highlighting their adventurous spirit and resourcefulness. Through the camaraderie and infectious excitement of their pursuit, the characters set the stage for future challenges that may involve encounters with poachers, the complexities of wildlife, and the promise of adventure in their lives. The strong interplay between the boys' aspirations and the wild environment suggests a narrative rich in exploration and the spirit of young pioneers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
