"The Rover Boys at College; Or, The Right Road and the Wrong" by Edward Stratemeyer is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows the three Rover brothers—Dick, Tom, and Sam—as they embark on their college journey at Brill College, where they navigate the challenges of academia and social life while encountering both friends and foes. At the start of the book, the Rover boys are eagerly traveling to college when their train comes to a sudden halt due to a collision with a freight train. After confirming that everyone is safe, they decide to get to Ashton on foot. Upon arrival, they encounter various characters, including the charming Minnie Sanderson, and quickly become embroiled in college life. As they adapt to their new environment, they also clash with a group of sophomores led by the arrogant Dudd Flockley, hinting at the rivalry and challenges ahead. The opening sets the tone for the camaraderie, adventure, and moral lessons that are characteristic of Stratemeyer's work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
