The Wizard of the Sea

Excitement fills Mont Folsom as he prepares to attend Nautical Hall, a prestigious boarding school by the sea, despite his friend Tom Barnstable's skepticism about the joys of such an institution. Mont insists he never gets into trouble, much to Tom's amusement, who knows him as the town's most mischievous boy. The narrative hints at summer adventures, as Mont looks forward to sailing with fellow students like Carl Barnaby and Link Harmer, setting the stage for a tale of youthful antics and nautical escapades.
