Résumé

"Bob Blake On The School Nine" by Frank A. Warner is a captivating tale of youthful adventure and camaraderie set against the backdrop of school life and baseball. The story follows Bobby Blake and his friends as they navigate the challenges of returning to Rockledge School after the Christmas holidays. The narrative begins with a playful snowball fight at the train station, which quickly escalates into a confrontation with a local bully, Ap Plunkit. The boys are saved from a potential altercation by their friend Pat Moriarty, who intervenes just in time. As the boys embark on their journey back to school, they encounter a severe snowstorm that halts their train in a snow-filled gulch. Stranded and hungry, they venture to a nearby farmhouse where they are warmly welcomed and fed by the kind-hearted Mrs. Wilson. However, their return to the train is thwarted as it departs without them, leaving them to find an alternative route to Rockledge. Their journey takes a perilous turn when they stumble upon a group of tramps in a secluded cabin. The boys find themselves in a precarious situation as the tramps, led by a scarred man, eye them with suspicion. The story captures the essence of youthful bravery and the importance of friendship as Bobby and his friends face these unexpected challenges.
