Description
Frank Jordan spends his days trapped in the tight‑fisted household of his aunt in the quiet town of Tipton. With a sick father far away and a strict guardian who hoards his pocket money, the boy dreams of escaping to a boarding school, yet feels chained by duty and constant nagging. When a sudden outcry from the river draws him into the woods, Frank discovers a strange scene that pulls him away from his own worries for the first time.
The encounter introduces a ragged tramp, a mysterious wagon, and the hint of a bully’s cruelty, setting the stage for a series of daring escapades. As Frank’s curiosity and sense of justice awaken, he begins to question the limits his aunt has imposed on him. The opening chapters blend the modest struggles of a young boy with the promise of intrigue that will test his courage and resourcefulness.
