"Here is an ideal school-boy's story in which no fewer than four great matches take part in unfolding the plot. Many other attractions go to the making of this capital story, whose warp and woof are composed of thrilling episodes in the lives of two young Australian families, the Wentworths and the Mannings. An heroic blind boy, a football hero, a missing father, a mysterious prowler, an unexpected recovery, and a mystery cleared up at last, are some of the elements that make up a rich bill of fare such as boys and girls love." (Advertisement for Whitcombe's Gift Books: A Treasury of Adventure Stories for Boys and Girls)
