The story revolves around Irving Upton, a young teacher at St. Timothy's School, who grapples with the challenges of establishing authority and gaining respect from his students, especially from a mischievous boy named Westby. The book explores themes of adolescence, education, and personal growth against the backdrop of a preparatory school setting. At the start of the narrative, we meet Irving Upton as he receives an employment letter from St. Timothy's School, which brings him joy despite his feelings of insecurity about his teaching abilities and appearance. After saying goodbye to his family and arriving at the school, he quickly learns that his youth and timid disposition make it difficult for him to command respect from the older students. Throughout the opening chapters, Irving navigates various uncomfortable situations, including being mocked by Westby, a clever student who tests the limits of Irving’s patience. This sets the stage for a humorous yet poignant exploration of the challenges faced by new teachers in establishing their roles and finding their voice in an environment filled with spirited adolescents.
