| Summary | "The Young Book Agent; or, Frank Hardy's Road to Success" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the protagonist, Frank Hardy, a young boy who is thrust into the role of a book agent due to his family's misfortunes. As he embarks on this new path, he learns valuable lessons about perseverance, responsibility, and the challenges of earning a living. At the start of the book, Frank is introduced as an optimistic sixteen-year-old boy living with his family. The narrative establishes the family's struggles, particularly concerning Frank's father, who has been injured in a train accident, and the impending financial troubles due to a business rival's deceit. As Frank seeks to help his family, he considers the profession of a book agent, leading to an encounter with experienced agents that fuels his determination to succeed despite the odds stacked against him. The opening sets a stage filled with both familial love and the harsh realities of economic hardship, framing Frank's journey toward independence and success.
