John Passfield Review of The Adventure of Leonard Broadus by Frederick Philip Grove
This novel is a fast-paced action adventure in which a thirteen year old boy, Leonard Broadus,  works with the police to detect and capture a gang of thieves who are operating near the south shore of Ontario in the 1930s. Leonard uses the skills of a farm-boy in attempting to avoid capture by an unknown enemy and the intuition of a detective to solve what appears to be a mystery without an answer. The author, Frederick Phillip Grove, tells a tale which features the towns and topography of the area just north of the Lake Erie shoreline and the ambiance of the Depression of the 1930s and connects young Leonard Broadus with the visit, and the persons, of the King and Queen in their visit to Toronto and Niagara Falls in 1939.
