| Summary | "Seek and Find; or, The Adventures of a Smart Boy" by Oliver Optic is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds around the protagonist, Ernest Thornton, a resourceful and brave young boy who embarks on an adventure to help a girl named Kate Loraine, who is struggling against the tyranny of her stepmother. The narrative promises themes of morality, courage, and the quest for justice as Ernest navigates various challenges to protect Kate. The opening of the novel introduces a tense, dramatic scene where Ernest and his friend Bob are sailing when they hear a girl screaming for help. They soon discover that Kate has jumped into the lake to escape her stepmother, Mrs. Loraine. Ernest successfully rescues her, and they engage in a conversation that reveals her troubled home life, filled with cruelty and control. As the story progresses, Ernest learns about Kate's desire to escape her oppressive situation and begins to formulate a plan to help her find her uncle in New York City, resulting in a captivating mix of adventure and intrigue.
