About This Item
From the book flap: "Rick Brant and his pal, Scotty, have the kind of adventures all boys would like to have. They live on an island called Spindrift where Rick's father heads a group of scientists working in the field of electronics. Here and abroad, the boys encounter many thrilling adventures and solve many baffling mysteries."
Small bits missing from top and bottom of dust-jacket but the colourful illustration on front panel and spine is worth having. B/W illus across from title page, and endpapers illustration of "Spindrift Island", just off the New Jersey coast and where most of the story takes place.
