Summary "The Mark of the Knife" by Clayton H. Ernst is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on a young boy named Findley Holbrook, affectionately nicknamed "Teeny-bits," as he navigates the challenges of adapting to life at Ridgley School, a prestigious boarding institution. Teeny-bits faces the emotional turmoil of being a newcomer, along with the trials of forming friendships and proving his worth in both athletics and social settings. At the start of the story, Teeny-bits arrives at Ridgley School, filled with excitement and apprehension about his new life. Initially a target of teasing due to his nickname and size, he unexpectedly rises to prominence after a wrestling match with an older student—an event that earns him respect among peers. The opening chapters introduce themes of identity and resilience, culminating in revelations about his mysterious past, particularly concerning a unique birthmark resembling a knife on his shoulder, and a series of thefts at the school that adds a layer of intrigue to his story. As Teeny-bits settles in, he forges friendships and prepares for a significant football season, setting the stage for the unfolding adventures at Ridgley.
