Summary "The Radio Boys' First Wireless; Or, Winning the Ferberton Prize" by Allen Chapman is a novel written in the early 20th century, during the period when radio technology was rapidly evolving and capturing public interest. This story centers on a group of boys, mainly Bob Layton and Joe Atwood, who are enthusiastic about experimenting with wireless technology. Their adventures unfold as they engage in a series of events involving science, teamwork, and youthful competition, particularly focusing on their quest to achieve the prestigious Ferberton Prize.

They interact with a group of local bullies led by Buck Looker, who doubts the reality of wireless communication, highlighting the theme of belief in scientific advancement amid skepticism. As the narrative progresses, the boys become involved in a dramatic auto accident where they demonstrate bravery by rescuing an injured girl, demonstrating their character development and camaraderie. This thrilling start sets the stage for their ongoing adventures in the field of radio experimentation as they aspire to create their own wireless sets, face various challenges, and navigate their budding interests in science and technology.
