Synopsis

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.

    From the UK’s bestselling author of the Land of Roar series comes this first book in a spooky, swashbuckling duology! 
    Sid Jones and her best friend, Zen, like to play in their local graveyard—but they never expected their ghostly games to suddenly turn real. When Sid accidentally frees the spirit of Ezekiel “Bones” Kittow, a pirate who died nearly three hundred years prior, he asks her to help him find his long-lost treasure so his soul can finally be at rest. The only problem? He can’t remember where, or even what, the treasure is. 
    With nothing but a spectral hand-drawn map to help guide their search, Sid, Bones, Zen, and an annoyingly loud ghost parrot set out to complete their quest. But haunting their every step is Old Scratch, a creepy specter who runs the eerie graveyard prison keeping Bones, his crew, and many other spirits trapped. Old Scratch won’t let Bones be free without a fight, and in the end, there may be much more sinister threats to face down. . . .

In one such amazingly ordinary world, imaginations collide and fantastically normal beasts are born. The land of The Hiole provides a safe place for these creatures to call home. The guardian of The Hiole and its residents is a creature known as The Frox. Half frog, half fox, this magnificent being has been charged with their safe-keeping. The Frox must guide these creatures back to finish their dreams. To remind them of who they came from and to ensure that their dreamers' imaginations continue to flourish. This story introduces the first ever guest of The Hiole, Lord Regibald. The Frox must find, befriend, and help him finish the dreams he was created in. If The Frox can't convince Lord Regibald to travel back, his creators will be stuck in their unfinished dreams every night, unable to create anything new.
