THE REX KINGDON SERIES
By Gordon Braddock

Notes

Titles

Rex Kingdon is your basic all-around series book schoolboy hero -- athletic, honest, interested in woodcraft, and so forth. The son of a scientist, Rex spent his early years travelling around the world. When the series opens, he's a new boy at Ridgewood High School. Later books see him camping out with Ridgewood friends, entering prep school, and playing on the school football and baseball teams. The basic plot of each book is the same: a jealous "enemy" boy, a poor sport who aims to thwart Rex at every turn, is eventually converted into a staunch friend through the example of Rex's manliness and good sportsmanship. In the introduction to #5, "Storm Island," a sixth book is promised, but I can't find any evidence that "Rex Kingdon and his Chums," was ever published.
