| Summary |
"The Motor Boys on Thunder Mountain; Or, The Treasure Chest of Blue Rock" by Clarence Young is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a trio of young friends known as the Motor Boys—Jerry Hopkins, Ned Slade, and Bob Baker—as they embark on a thrilling quest after receiving a letter about a potential gold mine. With themes of friendship, exploration, and the spirit of adventure, the boys find themselves drawn into tales of treasure and danger that could change their lives forever. At the start of the narrative, Jerry, Ned, and Bob discuss a letter from an acquaintance, Tinnith Mallison, who invites them to investigate a gold mine near Thunder Mountain. Amid playful banter and discussions about food, they express a mutual desire for adventure following their experiences in the war. Their conversation quickly turns serious as they note the urgent need to respond to Mallison’s suggestion. As they head off for lunch, they discover their bravery will soon be tested when they encounter a fire at a farmhouse, prompting them to leap into action to save a trapped family. Just as they begin to settle in for their new journey, hints are dropped about potential conflicts with a nemesis, Noddy Nixon, setting the stage for an exciting adventure full of dilemmas and unexpected encounters.
