"Smugglers' Reef: A Rick Brant Science-Adventure Story" by Harold L. Goodwin is a fictional novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Rick Brant, a young boy with a passion for adventure and science, as he navigates the mysteries surrounding his home on Spindrift Island, particularly focusing on the wreck of a trawler at Smugglers' Reef and the enigmatic new inhabitants of the nearby Creek House. Along with his friends, Rick is drawn into a thrilling web of intrigue involving potential smuggling operations and danger lurking just beneath the surface of what appears to be an ordinary fishing community. The opening of the book introduces us to Rick and his friends as they engage in light-hearted banter about their past adventures while preparing for a potential new one. As Rick is called into action to photograph a trawler that has run aground, hints of tension and mystery begin to unfold, particularly surrounding the actions of the local fisherman, Tom Tyler, and the peculiar behavior of the Kelso family, who have recently taken residence at the Creek House. The scene sets the stage for Rick’s exploration into the possible connection between the wreck and the Kelsos, establishing a blend of humor, youthful camaraderie, and budding adventure that promises more excitement to come.
