  • Enemies of the Secret Hide-Out was a 1966 book, written and illustrated by children's author John Peterson, and was the sequel to The Secret Hide-Out. It was a long-running paperback title for Scholastic Press, and its book clubs, through the 1970s. The story picks up not long after the first book leaves off. Viking Club members Matt, Sam and Beany are in the process of recruiting two new boys, Rusty and Ted, to join them. While Ted devotes himself to passing the initiation tests, Rusty shows little interest, and walks away when he's caught cheating. Shortly after, the Vikings receive a threatening note–Rusty has started a rival club, and plans to learn and expose the location of the Viking Club's secret meeting place. The two clubs face off, new member Ted comes up with a way to protect the Secret Hide-Out, and the rivals all learn a lesson. While no new Viking Club lore is presented in the book, the story is nonetheless exciting, and one any child with their own club or secret meeting place could relate to. Ted is depicted by Peterson as an African-American child, making a subtle pro-integration hint during the socially-conscious 1960s. Even Rusty, the villain of the story, makes no race or class distinctions toward anyone; he mocks Beany and Ted because they're younger than himself, and Sam and Matt because they keep rules.
