The story follows a young boy named Paul Weston who finds himself stranded in New York City after his family departs for Europe without him. As Paul grapples with his loneliness and uncertainty, he befriends two streetwise boys, Johnny and Ben, who introduce him to the harsh realities of street life, including the world of newsboys and boot-blacking. The opening of the book sets the stage for Paul's introduction to the bustling streets of New York City. He recounts the unfortunate series of events that led him to be left behind while searching for a new top, showcasing his innocence and the stark difference between his past comfortable life and his current predicament. The narrative quickly moves into his interaction with Johnny and Ben, where they not only believe his story but also offer him a chance to earn money as a newsboy, marking the start of his journey towards self-reliance amidst the challenges of urban life. The camaraderie and adventures that ensue hint at both the trials and tribulations of growing up in a bustling city environment.
