Produktbeschreibung
Dave Porter and his classmates or For the honor of Oak Hall explores the personal trials of adolescence shaped by competition, loyalty, and the desire for recognition within a tightly knit school environment. It enhances the contrast between belonging and alienation, revealing how reputations are built through character rather than conquest. The novel delves into the emotional landscape of youth, portraying the struggle to balance ambition with integrity. Friendship is shown not as simple camaraderie, but as a test of patience, trust, and shared experience. Through social tensions and school traditions, the narrative examines the shaping of values in a community where respect must be earned. Challenges become catalysts for growth, with the protagonist learning that leadership stems from principle rather than pride. The story underscores the complexity of peer dynamics, where misunderstandings, rivalries, and alliances push individuals toward self-awareness. It reflects a broader journey of becoming learning to stand firm in one s beliefs while navigating the expectations of others in a world that constantly demands proof of character.
Autorenporträt
Roy Rockwood was a pseudonym used by Edward Stratemeyer and the Stratemeyer Syndicate for a variety of adventure books, especially those targeting young boys. The name is most notably remembered for the Bomba the Jungle Boy series, which became one of the popular titles under this pen name. Edward L. Stratemeyer, the mastermind behind the Syndicate, was an American publisher and a prolific writer of children's fiction. Born on October 4, 1862, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Stratemeyer founded the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing company that produced a remarkable volume of children's books. Throughout his career, Stratemeyer wrote or oversaw the production of over 1,300 books, with total sales exceeding 500 million copies worldwide. His work includes famous series such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Stratemeyer's ability to create enduring series was central to his success, and his influence in children's literature remains substantial. He passed away on May 10, 1930, at the age of 67 in Newark, New Jersey, and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory in Hillside, New Jersey. His daughter, Harriet Adams, later took over his legacy, continuing the Syndicate's work.
