Summary "A District Messenger Boy, and A Necktie Party" by James Otis is a children’s novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story centers around young Joe Curtis, a district messenger boy who finds himself in an unexpected situation while carrying out an errand, and explores themes of friendship, bravery, and the challenges faced by children in a bustling urban setting. At the start of the novel, Joe is given the task of transporting baggage for a gentleman going on a trip. However, his employer fails to show up, causing Joe to inadvertently board a steamer headed to Providence. During his wait to return, he meets a younger boy named Ned, who is struggling with his own troubles after being coerced away from his parents. Joe takes it upon himself to protect Ned from the sinister man who has taken him away and devises a plan to safeguard him as they navigate their predicaments together. This opening portion sets the stage for an adventure filled with tension and camaraderie among young boys, showcasing their loyalty and resourcefulness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
