Produced by Suzanne Shell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Hilltop Boys: A Story of School Life" by Cyril Burleigh is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a group of boys attending Hilltop Academy, exploring themes of friendship, rivalry, and adventure as they navigate school life and personal challenges. Among the main characters are Jack Sheldon, a new student who demonstrates both courage and cleverness, and Dick Percival, who becomes a supportive friend to him. The beginning of the novel introduces us to the new term at Hilltop Academy, where two boys, Arthur Warren and Harry Dickson, are eagerly awaiting the arrival of classmates. Their adventure starts when they come across Jack Sheldon, a newcomer, who impressively directs them to avoid a near accident during a biking descent. As Jack settles into the Academy, he quickly earns the respect of his peers, particularly Dick Percival, despite a subplot of rivalry with a group led by the bully Peter Herring. The opening sets the stage for upcoming trials and adventures, including the budding friendships and potential conflicts that will arise in their school life.
