Summary "Andy Grant's Pluck" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written during the late 19th century, a time characterized by stories of perseverance and the quest for success against the odds. The narrative follows the young protagonist, Andy Grant, as he navigates the challenges and responsibilities that arise when his family suffers financial misfortune owing to a friend's dishonest actions. The opening of the book introduces Andy at Penhurst Academy, where he receives an urgent telegram from his mother, calling him home due to a family crisis. Upon returning, Andy learns that his father's financial situation is precarious, resulting from his father's bond for a corrupt bank cashier who has absconded with funds. As his family faces the possibility of losing their farm, Andy's resolve is tested. He demonstrates maturity and determination, expressing a willingness to abandon his educational aspirations to support his family. This early glimpse establishes the themes of personal sacrifice, integrity, and the quest for stability, foreshadowing Andy's journey toward "pluck" in overcoming adversity.
