| Summary | "The Worst Boy in Town" by John Habberton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Jack Wittingham, a mischievous boy whose antics often earn him the title of "the worst boy in town." The book portrays his adventurous spirit and a blend of innocent mischief, which creates a delightful exploration of childhood whimsy and a quest for fun against the backdrop of small-town life. The opening of the novel introduces Jack as he interacts with Farmer Parkins, who affirms his notorious reputation. Jack’s day begins with a desire to go fishing rather than attend school, and he attempts to persuade his friend Matt to join him. They plot to give any fish they might catch to a widow and embark on a series of juvenile escapades, illustrating Jack's blend of good-heartedness and troublemaking. The chapter sets a playful tone, showcasing Jack's inner thoughts and justifications for his antics while hinting at the challenges he faces with authority figures and his own conscience.
