"Motor Matt's Prize; or, The Pluck That Wins" by Stanley R. Matthews is a thrilling adventure fiction written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the character of Motor Matt, a skilled and resourceful young motorist, who finds himself entangled in a competitive powerboat race against tricky rivals, particularly Ollie Merton and the mysterious boat, the "Dart". As Matt prepares the "Sprite" for the race, he faces challenges from enemies who are willing to use underhanded tactics to thwart his efforts. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the chaotic and comedic dynamic between two young boys, Pickerel Pete and Ping Pong, who engage in a humorous conflict at the bank of Fourth Lake. This altercation draws the attention of Matt and his friend George Lorry, who rush to break up the fight. The ensuing chapters reveal the competitive atmosphere surrounding an upcoming boat race, encapsulating themes of friendship, rivalry, and the ingenuity of youth. As preparations for the race intensify, Matt must contend with not only the technical challenges of optimizing his boat but also the underhanded schemes of Merton, leading to a nail-biting build-up toward the contest.
