The action of the tale, and there is lots of it, takes place on an island off the coast of Massachusetts immediately prior to the United States' declaration of war on Germany. The hero is a lad of sixteen who is foiled in his plans to go camping, and forced," as he puts it, “to spend the summer on a little two by four island with an old maid aunt.” But adventure unrolls before him and he does not have at all the stupid and uninteresting time which he had anticipated. Quite the contrary, he encounters excitement enough for any red-blooded American youth. The book is a stirring one which would be read with avidity by young folks at any time, but particularly so now, when events connected with the great war are so much in the foreground.
“Its power to thrill and inspire will make it appeal to a public that knows no age limit."—The Living Age.
“Everybody must be fascinated with this vivid and red-blooded story of boyish heroism and constancy at the outbreak of the great war."—N. Y. Tribune.
