Summary "Frank Armstrong, Drop Kicker" by Matthew M. Colton is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around young Frank Armstrong and his friends as they embark on a summer venture to create a transportation business using a motorboat to ferry passengers around a scenic bay. The narrative captures their youthful exuberance, camaraderie, and the challenges they face in their entrepreneurial endeavors. At the start of the book, Frank and his friends are enjoying a day by the water when they come up with the idea of starting a ferry service called the "Queen's Ferry". With the help of Captain Silas and a local fisherman, they learn about a potentially available motorboat, which leads them to plan their new enterprise. Meanwhile, they engage in playful banter, showcase their swimming skills, and make preparations for their venture. In the midst of their excitement, Frank heroically saves a drowning girl, which garners him the goodwill of the community and eventually leads to an unexpected gift that helps launch their venture. The opening sets a lively tone for the adventures that lie ahead for Frank and his friends as they navigate both business and personal growth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
