| Summary | "Ben Stone at Oakdale" by Morgan Scott is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows a boy named Ben Stone, who arrives at Oakdale Academy and struggles with the stigma of his past, particularly as he's recognized by an old enemy, Bernard Hayden. The book delves into themes of friendship, bullying, and the quest for acceptance, set against the backdrop of school life. At the start of the novel, we meet Ben as he navigates his first days at Oakdale Academy, acutely aware of his impoverished appearance, which sets him apart from his peers. After a tense encounter with Roger Eliot, the captain of the football team, Ben faces humiliation when Hayden reveals his troubled past involving his father's criminal history. This incident isolates Ben, heightening his sense of being an outcast. However, despite the challenges, Ben experiences moments of kindness, particularly from the widow Mrs. Jones and her son, Jimmy, who look up to him. His courageous act of defending a young girl from vicious dogs catalyzes a shift in his relationships, setting the stage for potential redemption and friendship.
