About this ebook
Jerry Benson returns late to North Bank School, delayed by concern for his ailing foster-father, Pap Huckins, and begins his journey back with a clear conscience, a contented mood, and a head full of adventure stories and football dreams. On the way, he notices a keen-eyed stranger, then clashes with a group of young soldiers teasing a dog with sweet tonic instead of water. Jerry's quiet insistence on kindness wins no immediate approval, but when the stranger helps him save the dog, Jerry is left both grateful and intrigued. Back at school, he rejoins his roommate Tom Hartley, whose teasing banter, blunt honesty, and talk of baseball, football, and Coach Wesley Thorne—"Watch Me" Thorne—quickly reestablish the lively, competitive world of North Bank. Jerry's homesickness and loneliness surface on a quiet Sunday, but so does his determination. As football practice begins, his strong punting earns him notice, and he helps drive the team toward a touchdown. Coach Thorne then gives Jerry a demanding chance at left halfback, insisting he prove himself in punting, tackling, passing, and teamwork. Jerry's first efforts are clumsy, but Thorne's tough encouragement reveals the real lesson: success will require discipline, confidence, and the ability to grow under pressure. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
