"The Golden Boys and Their New Electric Cell" by L. P. Wyman is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the Golden brothers, Jack and Bob, as they engage in inventive pursuits with hopes of winning a local motorboat race, while also facing challenges from rival boys. The main theme revolves around youthful ingenuity, the thrill of competition, and a sense of adventure, as the brothers work on their innovative electric cell designed to power their boat. The opening of the story introduces Jack and Bob Golden in their workshop in Skowhegan, Maine, as they prepare to test their newly invented electric cell. After successful trials and excitement about the upcoming boat race, the brothers are also shown to be wary of two rival boys, Fred and Will Jenkins, who have been snooping around their inventions. Tension quickly builds when the Jenkins boys disrupt the Golden brothers' activities and later intensify with a plot twist involving a kidnapping, setting up an action-packed narrative filled with danger and ingenuity as the brothers navigate challenges to protect their secret invention.
