Synopsis

In "The Newsboy Partners; Or, Who Was Dick Box?", Frank V. Webster spins a gripping tale set against the bustling backdrop of urban life and the relentless pursuit of the American Dream. This coming-of-age story follows the adventures of two enterprising newsboys as they navigate the challenges of poverty, friendship, and ambition. Webster's straightforward yet vibrant prose encapsulates the zeitgeist of early 20th-century America, illustrating the trials faced by young boys striving for success while revealing broader social truths about class and opportunity. The narrative is enriched by a sense of camaraderie and a relentless spirit of resilience, characteristic of Webster's youth-centered works. Frank V. Webster, a prominent author of children's literature in the early 1900s, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of street life. His profound empathy for marginalized youth is evident in this story, as he portrays the aspirations and dilemmas of young characters with authenticity and respect. Webster's background in journalism also imparts a realistic touch to his narrative, engaging readers with both the excitement and harsh realities of city life. I recommend "The Newsboy Partners; Or, Who Was Dick Box?" to readers seeking an insightful, adventurous tale that explores important themes of friendship, integrity, and perseverance. This book provides not only entertainment but also a poignant reflection on the social fabric of its time, making it a must-read for fans of classic juvenile literature.

From the author of The Outsiders: This novel about two brothers in a tough world “packs a punch that will leave readers of any age reeling” (School Library Journal).  An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year   Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty-James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there's nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty-James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn't there to pick up the pieces.   An edgy, emotional portrait of a troubled kid trying to navigate the chaotic world around him, Rumble Fish was made into a film by Francis Ford Coppola and has become a modern classic praised by School Library Journal as “stylistically superb” and beloved by multiple generations of readers.   “Hinton knows how to plunge us right into [Rusty-James’s] dead-end mentality—his inability to verbalize much of anything, to come to grips with his anger about his alcoholic father and the mother who deserted him, even his distance from his own feelings.”—Kirkus Reviews
