Tom Does it the Hard Way. Instead of doing the sensible thing and taking the train to faraway Temple Camp, Tom Slade decides to get there on his own, first by canoe and then on foot.

Accompanied by fellow scouts Roy Blakeley and Pee-wee Harris, Tom braves fire, flood, mystery, an escaped convict, possible murder, and even faces down a lawyer.

First published in 1917, this book is a classic boys' adventure by Percy Keese Fitzhugh, and has delighted generations of readers. It is imbued with the can-do spirit of the time, when nothing seemed impossible (and nothing was impossible) to a boy with stalwart friends and the courage of his convictions.

This is the second book in the nineteen-volume Tom Slade series.

From the Publisher

Don't think of the Tom Slade series as just another boys' adventure series. It's far more than that, and it's astonishing that it was ever allowed to go out of print.

The first three books in the series cover Tom's adventures as a boy scout, then WWI intervenes and, too young to join the armed forces, he joins the crew of a transport ship. Later, he gets into the war, is eventually shell-shocked, has a rocky recovery, and goes on to have more adventures.

Stubborn, inarticulate, and often misunderstood, Tom is an unusual hero. He always stands up for what he believes in, even in the face of universal opposition.

The series goes on for nineteen volumes, published between 1915 and 1930, and Norton Creek Press intends to publish all of them. Nineteen is none too many: you'll wish Fitzhugh had published nineteen more.

At Norton Creek Press, we are proud to bring forgotten books back to life.
