Summary "Bob the Castaway; Or, The Wreck of the Eagle" by Frank V. Webster is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a mischievous boy named Bob Henderson, who is known for his pranks and troublemaking ways, as he faces the consequences of his antics and embarks on a life-changing sea voyage under the guidance of his seafaring relative, Captain Spark. At the start of the tale, readers are introduced to Bob and his playful yet reckless nature, as he engages in practical jokes that often annoy those around him, including his mother and the local storekeeper. His antics culminate in a particularly embarrassing incident at a donation supper for the village minister, leading his mother to decide that the best course of action may be to send him to sea with Captain Spark to instill a greater sense of responsibility and discipline. Through Bob's interactions and the unfolding events, the opening sets the stage for his imminent adventures on the ocean, highlighting themes of growth and the consequences of one's behavior.
