Summary: "Tom Slade in the North Woods" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the spirited character Tom Slade, who is a young scout with a rugged charm, known for his heroism and adventurous spirit.

The opening of the book introduces Tom Slade's return to his suburban town after a summer spent at Temple Camp in the mountains, hinting at the transition from summer adventures to autumn's cozy familiarity. The narrator shares a fond familiarity with Tom, who is depicted as a local celebrity with an unconventional style.
