"Tom Fairfield at Sea; or, The Wreck of the Silver Star" by Allen Chapman is a fictional adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the protagonist, Tom Fairfield, as he embarks on a quest to find his parents after learning that their ship, the Kangaroo, has gone missing at sea. Amidst his journey, Tom faces perilous situations, including the wreck of the Silver Star, the vessel on which he seeks to find his parents, highlighting themes of bravery and resilience. The opening of the novel introduces Tom and his friends, who are keen to escape their boarding school for a night of fun in town. However, their lighthearted plan takes a dark turn when Tom learns about the distressing news of his parents' ship. Overwhelmed with concern, he resolves to rescue them, leading to his departure from school to find a vessel that can take him across the ocean. As the narrative unfolds, Tom boards the Silver Star, which faces a fierce storm, culminating in a tragic shipwreck that leaves him struggling for survival in the turbulent sea. This sets the stage for Tom’s heroic journey as he confronts danger and fights to uphold his promise to save his family. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
