Oliver Optic’s Seek and Find; or, The Adventures of a Smart Boy follows a resourceful young hero who must rely on his wits and enterprise to make his way in the world after difficult circumstances leave him largely on his own. Optic’s gift for brisk plotting and his faith in the moral power of hard work and honest dealing are on full display.
One of the most reliable names in Victorian boys’ fiction, Optic (William Taylor Adams) wrote hundreds of novels and knew exactly what his young readers wanted: action, character, and the satisfaction of watching a plucky hero prevail. Download the free EPUB for a classic of the genre.
