Summary "Fairview Boys and Their Rivals; or, Bob Bouncer's Schooldays" by Frederick Gordon is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows a group of young friends—Bob Bouncer, Frank Haven, and Sammy Brown—as they navigate the challenges and adventures of school life. Themes of camaraderie, rivalry, and youthful ingenuity emerge as the boys engage with their peers, including the school bully, Jed Burr, while encountering various humorous and heartwarming situations. At the start of the story, as the summer vacation comes to an end, the three friends excitedly approach the new school year.
