"The Hoosier School-boy" by Edward Eggleston is a tale set in a 19th-century village school, following the experiences of Jack Dudley as he attempts to find his place among his classmates. Facing the challenges of making friends and dealing with bullies such as Will Riley and King Pewee Rose, Jack's early days in Greenbank are marked by a tense relationship with the strict schoolmaster, Mr. Ball. As friendships with classmates like Bob Holliday and Susan Lanham begin to blossom, Jack's journey turns into a coming-of-age story filled with relatable struggles, humor, and heartfelt moments.
