Summary: "Gunpowder Treason and Plot" by Harold Avery et al. is a collection of stories for boys written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into thrilling adventures and moral lessons, with young characters often facing challenges that test their bravery and integrity. This collection intertwines fiction with historical elements, promising a journey of excitement set against various backdrops, including naval adventures and wild animal encounters.

The narrative captures their early years, focusing on a rift that develops between them after a dispute during a school race. This conflict sets the stage for their journey of rivalry and reconciliation as they mature into midshipmen, showcasing the themes of brotherhood, honor, and the struggles of growing up.
