Summary "Silver Rags" by Willis Boyd Allen is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the adventures of a group of young friends during their summer vacation in the Maine woods, where they encounter excitement, peril, and moments of heroism. The story centers around a girl named Pet Sibley, who almost drowns in Loon Pond but is saved by a boy, Randolph, along with his companions Bess and Kittie. The opening of the novel introduces a distressing scene where Kittie Percival calls for help as her friend Pet, not knowing how to navigate their small boat, falls overboard. Randolph rushes to save her, highlighting themes of bravery and friendship. The narrative describes the immediate aftermath of the rescue, showcasing the characters' concern for Pet as they seek assistance from Ruel, a guide, and engage in a trial regarding a lost watch, which adds an element of intrigue and conflict.
