Book summary

The three Rover brothers, Dick, Tom and Sam, are spending the end of the summer at Valley Brook, the family farm in New York State. A trip into the mountains leads them to a cave where thieves hide their loot, while two swindlers steal their Uncle Randolph's bonds.

Then come their last months at Putnam Hall, a military boarding school: rivalries between pupils, races in the snow and Christmas at the farm. A cheerful adventure about friendship and courage, from a series that thrilled generations of young readers.

Its lively dialogue and light tone make it an enjoyable read in the language you are learning.
