"The Motor Boys in Strange Waters; or, Lost in a Floating Forest" by Clarence Young is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure story follows a group of boys known as the "Motor Boys" who are excited to spend their summer vacation exploring. The main characters, Jerry Hopkins, Ned Slade, and Bob Baker, embark on a journey filled with unforeseen challenges and mysteries, beginning with a plan to travel to Florida. The opening portion of the story introduces the boys as they revel in the onset of their vacation after a long school year. They entertain ideas of adventure, leading to their decision to take a trip in their motorboat, the Dartaway. Early discussions reveal their rivalry with a local bully, Noddy Nixon, who boasts of a cocoanut plantation he claims to own in Florida. As the three friends unwind in lively banter, they also meet Professor Snodgrass, who becomes an important companion during their travels. The narrative sets the stage for their journey, teasing future excitement and mishaps as the boys prepare for their expedition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
