Summary |
"The Rover Boys Shipwrecked; or, A Thrilling Hunt for Pirates' Gold" by Edward Stratemeyer is a children’s adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. This book follows the exciting escapades of the Rover boys—Jack, Andy, Randy, and their pals—as they embark on a perilous journey involving a shipwreck and the pursuit of pirates’ treasure. As part of the broader Rover Boys series, it sets a nostalgic tone that harkens back to classic adventure tales for young readers. The opening of the story introduces us to the characters at Colby Hall Military Academy, where they are eagerly anticipating Thanksgiving holidays and a subsequent motor boat trip. Their plans take a dramatic turn when they are involved in a car accident with some suspicious figures. The boys' arrival at their family farm is exciting, but soon they find themselves dragged into a perilous encounter involving rum-runners after they accidentally collide with a schooner. Faced with danger and uncertainty, the Rover boys' resilience and quick thinking will be tested as their adventure takes unexpected and thrilling turns, setting the stage for an engaging and suspenseful narrative.
