Summary "The Newsboy Partners; Or, Who Was Dick Box?" by Frank V. Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of two boys, Jimmy Small, a streetwise newsboy, and Dick Box, a mysterious boy who suffers from amnesia after a head injury. Together, they navigate the challenges of life on the streets of New York City, facing bullies, striving to earn a living, and forming a partnership that promises camaraderie and support. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jimmy Small as he energetically sells newspapers in City Hall Park, showcasing his street smarts and determination. He encounters a well-dressed stranger, Joshua Crosscrab, who seems out of place, engages in a brief conversation, and learns about overcoming hardships. After a series of unfortunate events, including a theft, Jimmy seeks shelter in an alley where he discovers Dick, who is injured and unable to remember his past. This unexpected meeting lays the groundwork for their partnership, setting the stage for a journey of friendship and mystery as they navigate their lives in the bustling city.
