"Tom Swift in the City of Gold; Or, Marvelous Adventures Underground" by Victor Appleton is a youth adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book follows the energetic young inventor Tom Swift as he embarks on a thrilling quest to uncover the secrets of a fabled underground city filled with gold, based on a mysterious letter he receives from an African missionary, Mr. Illingway. This adventure promises excitement, danger, and perhaps the chance for Tom to bring back treasures, including a solid gold image worshipped by a native tribe. At the start of the story, Tom Swift receives an intriguing letter from Mr. Illingway, informing him of a golden image worshipped by a tribe near Gumba Twamba, Africa, and hints at a hidden underground city of gold associated with it. Excited by the possibility, Tom shares the news with his father and Mr. Damon, a close friend. Despite initial hesitations, Tom convinces them both to join him on this quest, and he also enlists his loyal caretaker, Eradicate. As preparations are made for their journey to Mexico, the tension builds around potential dangers, such as head-hunters, and the possibility of rival characters, like the Foger family, attempting to follow their adventure. This opening hints at a fun mix of innovation, exploration, and the trials of youthful ambition. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 82.8 (6th grade).
