Summary "The Racer Boys; Or, The Mystery of the Wreck" by Clarence Young is a children's novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around two adventurous brothers, Frank and Andy Racer, who find themselves embroiled in both a thrilling race and a shocking encounter with a whale, leading to one of them being nearly wrecked in his boat. This adventure eventually unveils a deeper mystery involving a wrecked motorboat and an unidentified boy they rescue, provoking curiosity about their new acquaintance and setting the stage for further discoveries. The opening of this lively narrative introduces Frank and Andy as they engage in a friendly rowing race on a sunlit day in Harbor View, a coastal fishing village. Their competition is interrupted when they spot a whale approaching their small boats, resulting in a dramatic hit that damages Andy's skiff. Following this close call, they discover a wrecked motorboat and an unconscious boy in the water, prompting them to take swift action to save him. This sets the stage for an unfolding mystery, as the brothers try to uncover the identity of the rescued boy, Paul Gale, and the secrets behind his past while navigating their summer adventures.
