Book for Adventure-Seeking Boys
Matt Burns and his younger brother, Sam, find an old notebook from 1938 hidden behind a brick wall in their grandmother's cellar. Once they brush away the dust on the cover they find sparkling gold letters on the front that read
The Secret Book
of
THE VIKING CLUB
1938
Inside the notebook they find details on how to be admitted to the Viking Club; the setting up of an obstacle course, sleeping outside all night and battling a monster, and the making of lion masks, among other things.
They're ultimate goal, however, is to find the Secret Hide-out mentioned in the book.
Filled with charming illustrations and instructions in the back on how to make a spear, shield, and lion mask, this book is sure to thrill adventure-seeking boys.
