Summary "The Motor Boys in the Clouds; or, A Trip for Fame and Fortune" by Clarence Young is a children's adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a trio of friends, Jerry, Ned, and Bob, known as the "Motor Boys," who seek thrilling experiences and fame through exciting escapades involving air travel. With an emerging fascination for aeronautics, they embark on a journey to an aeronautical carnival where they encounter various airships, including the dubious invention of their rival, Noddy Nixon. At the start of the tale, the three boys learn about an upcoming carnival showcasing balloons and aeroplanes, sparking their interest in experiencing flight for themselves. The opening portion introduces their playful banter and camaraderie as they discuss the carnival and Noddy's peculiar airship called the "Firefly". Excitement builds when they overhear details about Noddy's ridiculous contraption, setting the stage for a series of competitive and comical incidents that follow. The blend of friendship, rivalry, and determination drives the narrative, promising a tale filled with youthful ambition and adventure among the clouds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
