Summary "Charlie Codman's Cruise: A Story for Boys" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. This book tells the story of Charlie Codman, a fourteen-year-old boy who struggles with poverty yet possesses a strong sense of duty toward his mother. As the narrative unfolds, Charlie's life takes a drastic turn when he is unwittingly entangled in nefarious schemes that threaten to separate him from everything he holds dear. The opening of the story introduces Charlie as he navigates the challenges of his daily life, selling newspapers to help support his mother. We are introduced to various characters, including old Peter Manson, a miserly figure whose obsession with money impacts Charlie’s fate. Charlie’s chance encounter with Manson leads to an unexpected chain of events that sees him caught up in a plot crafted by the unscrupulous mate, John Randall, who wishes to exploit Charlie for his own gain. As the narrative develops, we witness Charlie’s resilience in facing the perilous situations ahead of him, underscoring the broader themes of adventure, loyalty, and the harsh realities of life for boys from impoverished backgrounds.
