About This Book
A military-style boarding school serves as the setting for interconnected episodes following new pupils and their older peers: introductions, rivalries, pranks, and lessons from influential instructors. School routines, color-guard competitions, academic and athletic contests, holiday festivities, and a storm-centered adventure structure the narrative. Relationships develop through boyhood loyalties, a tentative romance subplot, and reconciliations between rivals. The action builds toward an athletic regatta and the school's commencement, presenting scenes of courage, teamwork, and leadership that shape the boys' transition toward greater responsibility.
