About This Book

A lively school tale that follows a small circle of preparatory-school boys whose ordinary routines of lessons and play give rise to secret schemes and clubroom banquets. A new boy quickly becomes part of their circle and together they form a covert supper club that leads to pranks, rivalries, athletic matches and election contests. A mysterious cipher and the founding of an underground society escalate accidents and reckonings, while episodic adventures mix comic mischief with genuine peril. Through these incidents the narrative traces how camaraderie, loyalty and youthful resourcefulness are challenged and ultimately strengthened.
