Waggaman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a group of boys, particularly focusing on Freddy Neville, who is recuperating from an illness, and Dan Dolan, a boy from a rough background who is determined to prove himself amidst the more privileged boys at Saint Andrew's. Through their adventures, the narrative seems to explore themes of friendship, class struggle, and the importance of a supportive, nurturing environment. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the aftermath of the school year at Saint Andrew's, where only a few boys, termed "left overs", remain for the summer. We quickly learn that Freddy, the sickly boy, grapples with the reality of his father's disappearance and the affectionate care of Brother Bart, while Dan, a scrappy scholarship student, navigates his own insecurities and plucky determination. The boys engage in mischief on the gym equipment, but things take a serious turn when Fred falls and loses consciousness. The opening sets the tone for their relationship as they are all dispatched to a summer getaway at Killykinick, a place that promises a mixture of escapism and growth, hinting at formative experiences that lie ahead in their journey.
