| Summary | "Hike and the Aeroplane" by Tom Graham is a young adult adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story features two boys, Hike Griffin and his friend Poodle Darby, who embark on exhilarating escapades involving horseback riding and a mysterious aeroplane. The narrative hints at themes of bravery, friendship, and the spirit of exploration against the backdrop of early aviation. The opening of the book introduces Hike and Poodle as they navigate a rugged canyon trail in California. During their exploration, Hike courageously saves Poodle from a near-fatal accident with a skittish horse, showcasing his adventurous spirit and resourcefulness. The boys subsequently discover a mysterious aerodrome where an eccentric aviator, Martin Priest, is building an innovative tetrahedral aeroplane. As they bond with Priest over their shared interest in aviation, they realize that their adventures are only beginning, setting the stage for thrilling experiences that will test their courage and creativity.
