| Summary |
"The Hero of Garside School" by J. Harwood Panting is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around a boy named Paul Percival and his adventures at Garside School, where themes of bravery, loyalty, and the challenges of growing up are explored. Central to the narrative is Paul's relationship with his mother and the legacy of his late father, a naval captain lost at sea, which adds depth to his character as he seeks to navigate both school life and the threats that arise. The opening of the novel establishes the emotional backdrop through Paul's reflections on his father and the burdens carried by his mother, who is haunted by the losses related to the sea. As Paul prepares to return to Garside School, he encounters a mysterious stranger who entrusts him with an important message. This sense of urgency and danger is heightened as Paul becomes embroiled in a conflict involving a foreign spy linked to his father's past. As the story unfolds, themes of courage and friendship emerge, with Paul determined to uphold his father's legacy while forming bonds with new companions, which sets the stage for further adventures at Garside School.
