Book summary

An adventure novel for young readers, the twelfth volume of the Rover Boys series. The three Rover brothers, Dick, Tom and Sam, spend the end of summer at Valley Brook, the family farm in New York State. A mountain outing 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 on snow and ice, Christmas at the farm. A lively, cheerful story about friendship and courage.

The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout

Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read. This is the layout that lets you open a book in a language you barely know without ever giving up, and compare the two texts almost word for word.

The excerpt shows the method using another book from the catalogue, not this one.
