Summary "Frank Hunter's Peril" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Frank Hunter, a young boy grappling with insecurity about his mother's intentions to marry Mr. Craven, a man he does not trust. As tension builds surrounding the perceived threat from Craven, Frank's loyalty and love for his mother are tested, leading to a conflict where he must navigate the complexities of family, trust, and emerging adulthood. The opening portion of the book introduces Frank Hunter, who is initially enjoying a carefree moment on the lawn when his friend Ben Cameron brings up the subject of his mother’s growing relationship with Mr. Craven. Frank's palpable discomfort with the idea of Craven becoming his stepfather surfaces as he expresses concern over Craven’s frequent visits. A scene between Frank's mother and Mr. Craven reveals Craven’s intentions to propose marriage, leading to a troubling acceptance on her part despite her lack of affection for him. Through Frank's lens, we see the dynamics of this impending family change, laying the groundwork for future tensions and foreshadowing the peril that awaits Frank and his dog, Pompey, at the hands of the predatory Mr. Craven.
