"Tom Swift and His Electric Runabout; Or, The Speediest Car on the Road" by Victor Appleton is a juvenile fiction novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Tom Swift, a young inventor, as he embarks on an ambitious project to build a speedy electric car in hopes of winning a government-sponsored prize for the fastest automobile while also aiming to outshine his rival, Andy Foger. At the start of the narrative, Tom excitedly shares his plans with his father, an inventor himself, highlighting the competitive spirit that drives him. Despite lacking an automobile, he expresses determination to create one using a new storage battery he has been experimenting with. However, trouble arises when Tom is ambushed by a gang of local boys, including his nemesis Andy, who scheme to capture him for a humiliating prank. The opening sets the stage for a mix of adventure and invention, as Tom not only grapples with the challenges of building his electric runabout but also navigates his rivalries and encounters with friends and foes alike.
