Isle Royale Calling by Helen H. Cloutier

 Lots of action, lots of food cooked, prepared, described AND eaten by hungry boys, it's like one of those wacky early 20th century kids books but updated into the 1950s with plenty of ham radio.  A 17 year old protagonist, Jim, W9ZZO has adventures with his two brothers and Dad just before his last year of high school on Isle Royale in Lake Superior.

I enjoyed the book, it's similar to the Tommy Rockford books by Walker A. Tompkins.  It's almost as if it was set in a big city with all the plot twists, teenager versus parent, kid falls in a hole, radio SOS' all over the place, wild child caught stealing, it's all here :)

One line struck me (by the black star):

Maybe Gordon Lightfoot heard the same stories when he wrote the song about the Edmund Fitzgerald ?

Anyway, a good read, highly recommended.  Borrow it on Archive:
