The Motor Boys on The Pacific (Illustrated): The Young Derelict Hunters

by Clarence Young

Overview

The Motor Boys on The Pacific is the eighth volume in the 22-volume Motor Boys series. The boys are back home in Cresville, MA, just outside Boston, from their adventures in Florida. Almost immediately, they get bad news: their beloved runabout, the Dartaway, which they shipped from Florida, was smooshed when the freight train wrecked. Alack and alas! When they get an invitation to visit friends in California, their school suddenly has to delay opening for the term and, as luck would have it, their odd naturalist friend, Professor Uriah Snodgrass is planning a similar trip. Off they go. And, to top it all off, the boys hear of a wrecked ship containing gold and valuable papers that carries a sizable reward but sizable dangers, as well.

About the Author

Clarence Young was a Stratemeyer Syndicate pen name. Howard Garis probably wrote the series, although Stratemeyer usually provided his authors with an outline of the books. Garis and his wife, Lillian, wrote many children’s books under their own name. They are best known for a series of books that featured the character of Uncle Wiggily Longears, an engaging elderly rabbit. Many of Garis’ books were illustrated by Lansing Campbell. Garis and his wife, Lilian Garis, were possibly the most prolific children's authors of the early 20th century. Garis wrote many books for the Stratemeyers Syndicate as well, over a period of some 30 years.
