Beschreibung

In "The Ocean Wireless Boys of the Iceberg Patrol," John Henry Goldfrap crafts an engaging adventure narrative that intertwines the excitement of early 20th-century maritime communications with themes of bravery and ingenuity. Through the lens of youthful protagonists, Goldfrap explores the burgeoning field of wireless technology amid the perilous backdrop of iceberg-infested waters. Rich in period-specific detail, the novel employs a straightforward yet vivid literary style, capturing both the awe of oceanic exploration and the tension of impending danger in a rapidly changing world. Goldfrap, an early 20th-century author whose work often reflects his keen interest in technology and adventure, likely drew inspiration from his own era's fascination with radio and exploration. He adeptly balances authentic scientific elements with the thrill of adventure, providing readers not only with entertainment but also an insight into the critical role of wireless communication in maritime safety. His ability to weave fact with fiction can be traced to his experiences and observations, making the story resonate with contemporary readers. This book is highly recommended for young adults and enthusiasts of maritime history, as well as anyone intrigued by the confluence of technology and adventure. It is a compelling read that immerses the audience in the triumphs and tribulations of a bygone era, making it both an informative and exhilarating journey.

    In this spinoff to the New York Times–bestselling Goosebumps series, two siblings rescue their uncle when he mysteriously turns into a Jack-in-the-box. 
     
    Devin and his sister Violet are visiting their Uncle Jack for the summer. He lives in an old house by the seashore. Jack was a sailor and he has collected strange and fascinating items from the sea. Exploring a back room, Devin and Violet discover a locked trunk. A pirate’s chest. The trunk is wrapped in old, heavy chains and locked with a huge rusted lock. But they manage to get it open. They lift the lid slowly-and see that it’s filled with antique jack-in-the-boxes. Huh? One box is hidden under the others, covered in dust. It plays an odd unpleasant song. Up pops a very ugly, mean-looking puppet, an old pirate with a dirty red bandana over his long greasy hair, scars on his cheeks, and a beard, and one eye missing. “Thanks for letting Sailor Jack out!” he rasps, bouncing on his spring. Devin and Violet have a troubling question: Now that their uncle has been turned into a toy, how will they get him back?
