Résumé

"At Whispering Pine Lodge" by Lawrence J. Leslie is an engaging tale of adventure and mystery set in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. The story follows four boys from Carson-Max, Bandy-legs, Steve, and Toby-who embark on a quest to locate Roland Chase, a missing heir with a peculiar inheritance condition. The boys are granted an unexpected school vacation, which they use to assist Mrs. Hopewell, Roland's aunt, in finding her nephew. Their journey leads them deep into the wilderness, where they encounter various challenges and intriguing characters. The narrative begins with the boys setting up camp and discussing their mission. They are soon joined by Obed Grimes, a local woods boy who claims to be a fur farmer raising black foxes. Obed's mysterious demeanor and tales of his fur farm pique the boys' curiosity, though Bandy-legs remains skeptical of his story. Despite their doubts, the boys are invited to visit Obed's farm, where they hope to uncover more about the elusive Roland Chase. As the story unfolds, the boys navigate the rugged terrain, relying on their wits and camaraderie to overcome obstacles. They are driven by a sense of adventure and a desire to help Mrs. Hopewell, who fears for her nephew's well-being. The narrative is rich with descriptions of the natural environment, capturing the beauty and challenges of the Adirondacks. Leslie's tale is a blend of adventure, mystery, and the spirit of friendship. It explores themes of trust, perseverance, and the allure of the unknown. The boys' journey is not just a physical one but also a path to understanding and growth, as they learn to rely on each other and confront their own doubts and fears.
