Summary "The Boy with the U. S. Weather Men" by Francis Rolt-Wheeler is a young adult novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on a young boy named Ross Planford, who, along with his courageous Airedale dog Rex, finds himself embarking on a daring adventure during a massive flood along the Mississippi River. The narrative blends excitement and educational elements about weather phenomena, aiming to inspire readers with the marvels of meteorology and the heroic efforts of the U.S. Weather Bureau. The opening of the book introduces the dire situation on the Mississippi River, where a significant flood has displaced numerous families, including Ross’s friend Anton. As Ross receives a warning from his dog that something is amiss, he sets out to investigate and finds himself in a desperate rescue mission to save Anton, who has been stranded in his house amidst rising waters. The beginning highlights themes of bravery, friendship, and the importance of understanding and battling the forces of nature, engaging readers with not only compelling action but also a sense of responsibility towards others in times of disaster.
