Roy Blakeley's Tangled Trail
E-text prepared by Roger Frank and Sue Clark
"Roy Blakeley's Tangled Trail" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Roy Blakeley and his friends in a Boy Scout troop, as they embark on humorous and adventurous escapades at summer camp. The narrative captures the essence of youth, friendship, and the whimsical situations that arise when a group of boys seeks fun and mischief in the great outdoors. At the start of the book, the narrator, Roy, expresses his excitement about writing a new story while recounting his experiences at Temple Camp. He introduces his friend Pee-wee Harris, who absurdly believes that a scout should be able to write with anything, leading to comedic misunderstandings about writing and storytelling. As Roy and his troop engage in lighthearted banter and playful schemes involving their fellow scout Hervey Willetts and their increasingly amusing plans—including a peculiar left-handed hike—their antics set the stage for the mischief that is sure to follow. The opening chapters establish a light, humorous tone with character-driven dialogue, inviting readers into the whimsical world of a boy scout's summer filled with laughter and camaraderie.

Reading ease score: 92.7 (5th grade). Very easy to read.
