Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Tom Allen and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Now or Never; Or, The Adventures of Bobby Bright" by Oliver Optic is a novel for young readers written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around a clever and brave boy named Bobby Bright, who embodies a dedication to principle and personal integrity. As he faces the struggles of youth, including monetary troubles and moral dilemmas, Bobby's adventures highlight themes of personal responsibility, bravery, and the importance of family. At the start of the story, Bobby is introduced as a resourceful and spirited boy who saves a lady from a runaway horse, which earns him gratitude and a reward in the form of gold coins. This event sets the stage for Bobby's character as someone who acts selflessly and heroically. In the subsequent chapters, we learn about Bobby's humble background, his family struggles following the death of his father, and the plight of his mother with their creditor, Mr. Hardhand. Bobby's determination to improve his family's fortunes and stand up for his mother against Mr. Hardhand illustrates his growth and the values the novel seeks to impart to its young readers.
