"Frank Allen and His Motor Boat; or, Racing to Save a Life" by Graham B. Forbes is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows young Frank Allen and his friend Lanky Wallace as they navigate challenges on the Harrapin River. As they test their boat, the Rocket, they are drawn into a mystery involving a robbery and suspicious characters, setting the stage for an exciting narrative. The opening of the novel introduces Frank and Lanky on the Harrapin River, where they test the motor boat gifted to Frank by Lanky's father. Their playful banter reveals their friendship and sets a light-hearted tone, but soon the boys face mechanical issues with their boat. As they attempt to fix the Rocket, they learn of a rival, Cunningham, who poses a challenge with his own boat, the Speedaway. Just as they resolve one issue, they hear a woman's screams from the direction of the Parsons estate, prompting them to rush to investigate. This moment catapults them into a mystery involving theft and peril, which promises to shape their summer adventures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
