| Summary | "The Speedwell Boys and Their Ice Racer; Or, Lost in the Great Blizzard" by Roy Rockwood is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale follows the Speedwell brothers, Billy and Dan, as they navigate thrilling winter escapades, including their aspirations to build a racing iceboat amidst the challenges posed by winter storms, encounters with mysterious figures, and rivalries with other boys in their town. The opening of the story introduces the Speedwell brothers while they manage their family's milk delivery business, setting the tone for their hardworking, spirited personalities. As they grapple with a brewing blizzard, they encounter a strange boy, referred to as "Dummy," who cannot speak English. This chance meeting leads to a series of events that intertwine with their plans for building an ice racer. The boys' excitement for adventure is contrasted with the mysteries surrounding the silent stranger and foreshadows the adventures—and possible dangers—that lie ahead as the characters venture into winter sports and unforeseen challenges.
