| Summary | "The Boy Who Never Lost a Chance" by Annette Lyster is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. This novel tells the story of Roger Read, a determined young boy who, through a series of challenging circumstances and a strong work ethic, navigates life while adhering to his grandfather's principles of seizing opportunities and earning his keep. The narrative is set against a backdrop of a developing England, illuminating themes of resilience, kindness, and moral integrity. The opening of the book introduces Roger as he becomes entangled with a group of railway workers in Essex while they construct a new line that will connect a small seaport town to the inland city. After an incident involving the chief workman’s wife, Roger takes the initiative to transport her meal to the workers, showcasing his resourcefulness and willingness to lend a hand. As he talks with the workers, it is revealed that he has little more than a desire for work and opportunity, having recently lost his grandfather who had raised him. This beginning establishes his character as industrious and self-reliant, setting the stage for Roger's journey as he learns to navigate his new life and the challenges that come with it.
