Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the 19th century, to a time when schoolboy rivalry was as intense as it is today.

The author explores the competitive spirit of the boys, as they vie for the coveted position of captain. The story delves into the complex emotions that drive their actions, exposing the darker side of rivalry, including deceit and jealousy.
