Descrição do livro
Seventeen-year-old Myron Warrenton Foster arrives at Parkinson School carrying all the polish, pride, and private comfort of a boy who has never been denied anything. From the shabby taxi that takes him to campus to the neat rooms of Sohmer Hall, every first impression exposes the gap between his refined Delaware upbringing and the plain, practical world of boarding school life. Myron expects privacy, luxury, and deference; instead, he finds a bustling community where status is uncertain and self-importance is easy to puncture. His carefully guarded isolation is shattered when Joe Dobbins, a loud, rough-edged boy from Maine, bursts into his room, and the two are forced into an uneasy partnership. What begins in irritation and embarrassment slowly becomes a story of adjustment, comic friction, and unexpected friendship. As Myron struggles with his own snobbery, he also encounters campus life, football enthusiasm, Latin study, and the lively personalities around him, including the teasing Chas Cummins and the good-hearted Merriman. Warm, funny, and observant, the novel follows a young man learning that dignity, belonging, and loyalty may look very different from what he first imagined. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
