| Summary |
"The Grammar School Boys Snowbound; or, Dick & Co. at Winter Sports" by H. Irving Hancock is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book follows a group of adventurous boys from the Central Grammar School in Gridley, particularly focusing on the character Dick Prescott and his friends, as they navigate the challenges and thrills of winter sports and camping adventures. As their Christmas vacation begins, the boys scheme to embark on an exciting camping trip, highlighting their strong bond and youthful enthusiasm for outdoor activities. At the start of the story, the boys are seen enjoying a day of skating on a frozen river, engaging in playful banter, and dealing with a somewhat egotistical peer, Hen Dutcher. The narrative sets the stage for their impending winter camping adventure, which begins after they receive unexpected Christmas money from a kind benefactor. As they prepare for their trip, a sudden snowstorm transforms their plans, and the intrigue builds with the arrival of a mysterious boy, Hen, who appears at their cabin seeking warmth. This opening portion effectively establishes the camaraderie among the group while hinting at upcoming challenges and adventures, making it an engaging read for those who enjoy tales of friendship and exploration in a winter setting.
