About This Book

A group of academy boys spend a school term's end camping on a coastal island under the supervision of their teachers, engaging in tent-building, clam-bakes, swimming, and organized chores. Mischief and accidents create episodic challenges including torn lesson pages, a fog storm, a wreck and several boys who go missing, prompting searches, rescues, and an escape sequence. The narrative focuses on teamwork, practical outdoor skills, and boyish camaraderie as the group improvises shelter, prepares food, and holds roll calls and devotions. Scenes alternate between lively communal moments and tense episodes that test resourcefulness and authority within the camp.
