| Summary |
"Back at School with the Tucker Twins" by Nell Speed is a novel written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted story follows the adventures of Page Allison and the Tucker twins—Dum and Dee—as they return to boarding school after a summer break. The narrative unfolds through their experiences, bonds of friendship, and the humorous chaos they create at Gresham school. The opening of the novel sets the stage with Page reminiscing about her first year at boarding school and the excitement of reuniting with friends. As she travels back, she reflects on how much she and her companions, especially Annie, have changed over the year. Upon arriving, Page is reunited with the Tucker twins, who bring their characteristic liveliness and playfulness to the journey as they manage to sneak their beloved dog Brindle onto the train. The lighthearted and mischievous tone established in these early chapters hints at the adventures and challenges the characters will face together in the confines of their boarding school, abounding with friendship, fun, and some light-hearted rule-breaking.
