"Tom Slade with the Boys Over There" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a novel written during the late 1910s. This adventure tale follows the journey of young Tom Slade, an American boy who escapes from a German prison camp during World War I. The story captures his determination and bravery as he seeks to reunite with his French friend Armand and assist in the fight against the Germans while navigating the treacherous
landscape of Alsace. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the Leteur family, who live in a quaint old house in Alsace that has fallen under German control. The narrative captures their hidden longing for France and the dangers they face under Prussian rule. Tom Slade, after escaping captivity, encounters the Leteurs and brings news of Armand, who has gone to join the war effort. As they communicate with mistrust and fear of German soldiers, Slade’s presence ignites hope in the Leteurs, setting the stage for action and adventure as they devise a plan to navigate the perils ahead. The opening establishes a powerful sense of place and character, enveloping readers in the tension and yearning of war-torn Alsace. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
