About this title

Synopsis

Two friends, a stray act of mischief, and the test of character that follows.

Set around a small English village, this classic tale follows Madge, Alec, and their circle as a prank with rabbits spirals into consequences that test honesty, pride, and responsibility. Through school days, family ties, and surprising acts of kindness, the story charts a path from impulsive choices to mature resolve, guided by neighbors, mentors, and steadfast courage.

As missteps ripple through friendships and competitions, the characters learn that true gentility comes from integrity, hard work, and the care we show to others. The book invites readers to consider how we respond when reputation and loyalty are on the line.

• Meet a loyal group of friends who navigate pride, peer pressure, and empathy.
• Follow a turning point where truth, apology, and accountability reshape relationships.
• See how adults and mentors guide young people toward responsible choices.
• Experience a slice of life that blends village charm with a quiet, enduring moral thread.

Ideal for readers who enjoy period stories about youth, character, and the rewards of doing the right thing.
