| Summary | "Will Somers, the Boy Detective" by Charles Morris is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a sixteen-year-old boy named Will Somers, who, despite his ragged appearance, exhibits sharp wits and boldness as he seeks employment in a dry-goods store owned by Mr. Leonard. As he settles into his new job, he shows determination to prove his worth and navigate the challenges of the adult world, hinting at an adventurous and perhaps mischievous journey ahead. The opening of the book introduces us to Will, a confident and charismatic young boy who is in search of work. He engages Mr. Leonard, a merchant who is skeptical at first but intrigued by Will's audacity. Throughout their witty exchange, we learn about Will's rough upbringing, his experiences, and aspirations for a better life. As Will begins his job, he encounters challenges from other employees while showcasing his unique blend of street smarts and resilience. The initial chapters set the stage for a narrative filled with humor, adventure, and potential intrigue, as hints of deeper mysteries and relationships are woven into the storyline.
