| Summary | "The Black Star: A School Story for Boys" by Andrew H. Walpole is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This adventure story centers around Jack Symonds and his friend, Billy Faraday, two students at Deepwater College, as they navigate school life and get entangled in a mysterious and thrilling plot involving a black star—a valuable object linked to Billy's late father, who had been an esteemed naturalist. As they reunite for the term, the boys find themselves drawn into a web of intrigue involving potential thieves and unexpected friendships. At the start of the novel, Jack eagerly anticipates the return to school, reuniting with his peers and his close friend, Billy Faraday. The narrative quickly introduces a pair of shady figures whose actions allude to a deeper conspiracy connected to Billy's father and the mysterious Black Star. When a stranger steals Billy's bag, both boys chase after him, sparking a series of adventurous events that raise questions about trust, loyalty, and the secrets hidden within their college. The opening sets a lively tone with interactions among classmates, introduces intriguing characters, and lays the groundwork for what promises to be an exciting adventure filled with discovery and danger.
