520 _a"The Mercer Boys in the Ghost Patrol" by Capwell Wyckoff is a children's adventure novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the Mercer boys—Jim, Don, and their friend Terry, who are cadets at the Woodcrest Military Institute. As they embark on a camping trip near Rustling Ridge, the group faces a series of mysterious and thrilling occurrences, including a ghost, a horse stampede, and a dangerous fire, which promise to entertain young readers with a blend of humor and suspense. The opening portion sets the scene for the boys' summer camp, highlighting their excitement and camaraderie as they prepare for their first day. We meet Terry Mackson, a lively character known for his quick wit, and overhear tensions rising with Dick Rowen, a less popular cadet. As the boys gear up for camp, they stumble into a series of lighthearted exchanges that quickly escalate when Rowen strikes Terry, leading to a playful physical confrontation. Amidst these antics, the group eagerly anticipates the adventures ahead, including a whisper about the ghost of Rustling Ridge. The stage is set for the unfolding mystery that intertwines their camp experiences with ghostly legends. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
