| Summary | "Billy To-morrow's Chums" by Sarah Pratt Carr is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Sydney Bremmer, a boy who has faced hardships and now lives with Mrs. Schmitz, a kind woman who takes him in and treats him with care. The narrative explores themes of friendship, social class, and the journey toward self-respect, as Sydney grapples with feelings of jealousy and inadequacy, particularly in relation to another boy, Max, who has recently entered their lives. The opening of the book describes a night when Sydney performs his duties around the greenhouse and reflects on his life and friendships, particularly his concern for a schoolmate, Ida Jones, who struggles with acceptance among peers. When an unexpected intruder enters their home, Sydney and Mrs. Schmitz confront the situation together, showcasing their bravery and compassion. This incident leads to a pivotal moment as they offer kindness to the would-be thief, revealing much about their characters and setting the stage for the budding relationship between Sydney and Max, who both learn the importance of helping others and finding their places within a community.
