| Summary |
"The Mercer Boys at Woodcrest" by Capwell Wyckoff is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The book follows the stories of Don and Jim Mercer, alongside their friend Terry Mackson, as they navigate their new life at Woodcrest Military Academy. Upon arrival, their curiosity about a mysterious old building, Clanhammer Hall, pales in comparison to the sudden disappearance of their headmaster, Colonel Morrell, prompting the boys to engage in some detective work. At the start of the story, Don and Jim Mercer arrive at Portville station, reunited with their friend Terry Mackson, who has already enrolled at Woodcrest. Their humorous interactions set the tone as they begin their new adventure at the academy. However, the tone shifts when they learn about the disappearance of Colonel Morrell, which sets the backdrop for a mystery that intertwines with their academy life. The opening chapters establish the camaraderie among the friends as they settle into this new environment while hinting at darker secrets lurking within Clanhammer Hall that beckon their exploration and lead them into an unexpected thriller.
