| Summary |
"The Boys of Bellwood School; Or, Frank Jordan's Triumph" by Frank V. Webster is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book follows the story of a young boy named Frank Jordan, who struggles under the strict and unloving care of his aunt while longing for a better life and the chance to attend boarding school. The narrative hints at themes of adventure, friendship, and personal growth, as Frank yearns for freedom from his aunt's oppressive rule. The opening of the story introduces Frank Jordan, a boy living with his miserly aunt in the town of Tipton while his sick father recuperates in the South. Frustrated by his aunt's constant nagging and eager for the opportunity to go to school, Frank's emotions take a turn when he witnesses a confrontation involving a runaway boy named Ned Foreman and a threatening man named Tim Brady. Frank's quick thinking and bravery shine through—he devises a plan to save Ned from danger by unleashing a hornet's nest on the man. The chapter sets the stage for Frank's upcoming adventures, friendships, and challenges as he enters a new chapter of his life at Bellwood School. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
