Synopsis

In "Tom, Dick and Harry," Talbot Baines Reed crafts a quintessential boys' adventure novel that captures the spirit of late Victorian England. Through vivid prose and endearing characterizations, Reed presents a tale rich in themes of camaraderie, exploration, and moral development, as three boys navigate the challenges of friendship and the trials of adolescence. The novel's episodic structure and lively, descriptive passages invite readers into a world of playful escapades, while also reflecting the era's social values and educational reforms, particularly concerning the importance of physical activity and teamwork among boys. Reed, an influential figure in children's literature, drew upon his own experiences as a teacher and a passionate advocate for youth education. His dedication to uplifting boys through literature can be traced to his background in education and his belief in the formative power of storytelling. This dual perspective enriches the narrative, offering not just entertainment but also moral instruction, aiming to guide young readers toward virtuous lives. "Tom, Dick and Harry" is a must-read for both young audiences and adults interested in the evolution of children's literature. Reed's engaging narrative style and vivid illustrations of boyhood adventures hold enduring appeal, making this book a timeless classic that will resonate with readers seeking adventure and lessons in friendship.

    This sensitive and often humorous book tells the story of an adolescent boy who begins to find himself after the people he has always depended on let him down. Alone. That’s how thirteen-year-old Justin feels these days. His older brother Duane has left home, enlisting in the Army, and his father has walked out, maybe for good this time. His mom is too depressed to get out of bed, much less pay the bills and keep food in the refrigerator. And if that’s not enough, his best buddy Ben has a new girlfriend and no longer has time to hang out. There’s not much left for Justin to do but to put his brain in neutral and slide into the state he calls “the Big Nothing.” But slowly Justin discovers he has more resources than he thinks. With the help of his classmate Jemmie and her grandmother, Nana Grace, he learns that underneath all the noisy confusion in his brain lies a talent for music. As he spends time with Jemmie, he begins to understand how simple notes make complex music, and how simple feelings can turn into deep emotions. Award-winning author Adrian Fogelin once again offers readers an emotionally charged story featuring a sympathetic adolescent trying to make sense of the people and world around him.
