| Summary | "A Dangerous Friend; or, Tom's Three Months in London" by Emma Leslie is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around a fourteen-year-old boy named Tom, who leaves his rural life to seek work and opportunity in London, motivated by a letter from his Uncle George, who hopes to help Tom find a better life than that of a village blacksmith's son. The narrative unfolds themes of youth, ambition, and the perils of urban life, as Tom navigates new friendships and the temptations that come with them. The opening of the novel introduces Tom as he excitedly rushes home to share the news of his impending move to London. The anticipation is palpable within his family, especially from his mother, who sees this as a significant opportunity for Tom's future. As Tom prepares for his journey, the dynamics among his siblings reveal undertones of familial love mixed with jealousy and rivalry, particularly regarding his brother Dick. Upon arriving in London, Tom is initially entranced by the bustling city but quickly finds himself grappling with the challenges that come with it, including peer pressure and the risks of poor choices as he befriends dubious characters. The seeds of conflict and moral dilemmas are planted early on, setting the stage for Tom's journey through the complexities of growing up in a rapidly changing environment.
