Summary "A Young Inventor’s Pluck; or, The Mystery of the Willington Legacy" by Arthur M. Winfield is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Jack Willington, a young and resourceful machinist who faces numerous misfortunes when he is suddenly thrust into a position of responsibility as the sole guardian of his sister, Deb. The narrative explores themes of perseverance, ambition, and the challenges of proving one's innocence against adverse circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces Jack and Deb Willington, orphans struggling to make ends meet in the factory town of Corney. Their troubles begin when Jack learns of the factory's closure, leading to their financial instability as their savings in the bank become inaccessible. In the midst of their woes, Jack is wrongfully accused of setting fire to Mr. Gray's mansion, an event that further complicates their situation. Jack's unwavering spirit and inventive nature drive him to seek a resolution in order to secure their futures amidst the unfolding challenges. As Jack navigates these obstacles, he must also solve the mystery behind the accusations and support his sister while grappling with the pressure that comes with being the head of their small household.
