| Summary |
"Roy Blakeley: Lost, Strayed or Stolen" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the adventures of Roy Blakeley and his fellow Boy Scouts as they face various challenges and mishaps while trying to find a new home for their troop's meeting place, an old railroad car. This light-hearted tale delves into themes of camaraderie, resourcefulness, and growing up, showcasing the humorous and chaotic experiences of the main character and his friends. The opening of the story introduces Roy as he ardently discusses scout laws and the importance of good deeds, setting a cheerful yet chaotic tone. He reflects on the fun yet troublesome ride they had in the railroad car, which inspires his group to move it to a suitable location for their meetings. Their quest begins with discussions about how to navigate obstacles such as Tony's Lunch Wagon and Slausen's Auto Repair Shop, leading to a series of spirited exchanges and plans to gather support from their fellow scouts. As Roy and his friends engage in various humorous schemes to accomplish their goal, it becomes clear that while they face challenges, their perseverance and teamwork keep the adventure lively and entertaining.
