About This Book

The narrative follows three brothers who return from earlier travels to resume life at home and at a military academy, then spend a summer encampment on a nearby island where school rivalries and an enemy's plots generate pranks, hazing, contests, and perilous episodes including a storm and a midnight rescue. Episodes alternate school scenes, athletic contests, and outdoor adventure as loyalties are tested, a captive is taken, and courage is displayed. The story emphasizes fair play, perseverance, and the idea that returning good for evil can help reform antagonists.
