Mercer Boys. The Mercer Boys were created by Capwell Wyckoff (Mystery Hunters) and appeared in the ten-book “Mercer Boys” series, beginning with The Mercer Boys' Cruise in the Lassie (1929) and concluding with The Mercer Boys and the Steamboat Riddle (1933).

Don and Jim Mercer are wealthy orphans (their father mysteriously disappeared) who with their friend Terry Mackson have a number of adventures, both at the prestigious Woodcrest Academy, where they are straight-A students and four-sport standouts, and abroad, where in their sloop Lassie they encounter everything from Spanish & Indian gold to smugglers to a ghost.
