| Summary | "Andy the Acrobat" by Peter T. Harkness is a children's novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Andy Wildwood, a spirited sixteen-year-old boy full of natural acrobatic talent, who finds himself at odds with the rigid expectations of his unloving Aunt Lavinia and the confines of village life. After being expelled from school for his acrobatic antics, Andy dreams of escaping to join a circus and pursue a life filled with excitement and freedom. The opening of the book introduces Andy's troubles with the schoolmaster, Mr. Darrow, who is furious with him for repeatedly causing chaos in the classroom with his daring stunts. After a series of mishaps leads to Andy's expulsion, he reflects sorrowfully on his unkind living situation with Aunt Lavinia and wishes for a more adventurous life. As he grapples with the consequences of his actions and seeks a way out of his predicament, Andy's determination to embrace circus life becomes apparent. His acrobatic talents and adventurous spirit set the stage for a journey filled with challenges and opportunities for growth. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
