Sinopsis

In "Frank Merriwell's Fun; Or, Fearless and True," Burt L. Standish presents a captivating tale that captures the exuberance and moral fortitude of young adulthood through the adventures of its titular character, Frank Merriwell. This installment in the long-running series exemplifies the early 20th-century boys' adventure genre, characterized by its optimistic outlook and emphasis on integrity, bravery, and sportsmanship. Interwoven through lively prose are themes of friendship, perseverance, and the celebration of the American spirit, which reflect the cultural values of an era that idolized youthful vigor and resilience amidst societal challenges. Burt L. Standish is the pseudonym of Gilbert Patten, a prolific writer whose works catered to the tastes of young readers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Patten's own experiences in sports and education informed his creation of Frank Merriwell, a character designed to inspire and entertain boys seeking adventure and moral guidance. His stories not only filled the pages of countless publications but also created a lasting legacy in the genre of juvenile literature, influencing generations of readers. For readers seeking an engaging narrative that combines thrills and ethical lessons, "Frank Merriwell's Fun" remains a timeless choice. Standish's masterful storytelling immerses one in the trials and triumphs of youth, while its enduring themes resonate with readers across ages, making it a valuable addition to any collection that cherishes adventure and character development.

    While the celebrity victims of Dr. Larry Nassar and the USA Gymnastics sexual abuse scandals rightly got a lot of attention, the number of affected kids is far more numerous in swimming. Underwater tells the almost unbelievable story, in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and the Middle East, of coaches who preyed on children while hopping from program to program, state to state, and even country to country, in a pattern similar to the pedophile priests of the Catholic Church. 
     
    Irvin Muchnick, an experienced investigative reporter of the dark side of our popular sports entertainments, gained access to thousands of pages of FBI files and other sources to expose scores of such scenarios, as well as the inaction of bureaucrats and even the most highly regarded politicians. The ranks of abusers include some of the most famous and celebrated coaches in swimming history. And there’s no fixing the problem, the author says, so long as hundreds of thousands of young swimmers annually — elite and casual athletes alike — remain at the mercy of the Olympic system’s money-hungry priorities.
