| Summary |
"The New Northland" by L. P. Gratacap is a narrative of Arctic exploration written in the early 20th century. This intriguing tale follows young Jack Riddles, a keen and observant office boy, who stumbles upon a potential criminal plot while working in New York City. As he investigates further, he falls into a world of danger and mystery involving a kidnapped individual, ultimately leading to a remarkable adventure in a hidden land. The opening of the book establishes Riddles as a tenacious and perceptive character who first observes a fight between a striking couple, triggering his sense of intrigue and his instinct to uncover the truth. The narrative unfolds with Riddles trailing the couple, soon leading him to discover a glass star that hints at a deeper conspiracy. This sets the stage for an exciting blend of crime, exploration, and adventure that promises to captivate readers who enjoy tales of daring escapades in uncharted territories. As the story develops, it hints at a much larger expedition concerning Krocker Land—a rumored continent filled with undiscovered secrets, broadening the scope of the narrative into themes of discovery and the unknown.
