| Summary |
"Weggeloopen!" by James Buckland and Louis Desnoyers is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a mischievous boy named Paul, who frequently disobeys his parents and often gets into trouble. His antics ultimately lead him to run away from home, embarking on a series of adventures with his friend Dickie, whom he meets in a precarious situation. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Paul's character and his rebellious behavior toward authority. He constantly escapes from school to play outside and inflicts mischief on his family and the servants. Following one particularly defiant episode, Paul runs away from home after being punished by his father. What begins as a seemingly carefree adventure quickly turns into a chaotic series of events, including interactions with a local constable and a dangerous wild ride in a stolen boat during a storm. As Paul and Dickie's journey continues, they encounter various challenges that challenge their sense of friendship and resilience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
