| Summary |
"The Rover Boys in Business; Or, The Search for the Missing Bonds" by Arthur M. Winfield is a novel from the early 20th century that is part of a series aimed at young readers. The narrative follows the Rover boys—Dick, Tom, and Sam—as they mature through various adventures and embark on a new journey to uncover the mystery behind some missing bonds that threaten their family's fortune. With themes of family, friendship, and youthful resilience, the story delves into the challenges faced by the brothers as they navigate both personal and business dilemmas. The opening of the story sets the tone by introducing the current situations of the main characters, particularly Dick who is now married and managing the family's business in New York, while Tom and Sam are at college. There is a sense of urgency when Dick sends a startling message to his brothers, summoning them to New York regarding the missing bonds. As Tom and Sam prepare to visit their brother, readers get a glimpse of their college life, camaraderie, and light-hearted moments even as they ponder serious family matters. Their suspenseful journey begins with an accident at a broken bridge, where they heroically rescue an unconscious young man from the river, foreshadowing the series of events that will unfold linked to the bonds and the mysteries surrounding their family's affairs.
