Features: The target audience for the "Boys of Courage" series is primarily teenagers aged 12 to 18. They are in a critical period of physical and mental growth, and relying solely on textbook knowledge from school or works like Japanese manga or Harry Potter cannot cultivate strong character and perseverance. This series, starting from the theme of "striving and success," reveals the "Seven Virtues of the Boys of Courage" through a series of thrilling and vivid stories, aiming to develop children's well-rounded personalities and noble spirits. This series upholds the banner of virtue education and can be considered the third revolution in education after "exam-oriented education" and "quality-oriented education"!
At the age of 14, Herbert lost his mother and became an orphan. He wanted to join his uncle in New York, but his mean and selfish uncle and aunt were unwilling to take him in. So Herbert had to rely on short-term jobs in his hometown for a living. Due to his honesty and integrity—he refused to deceive his employers—he offended his boss, Aberle. To avoid Aberle's revenge, he had to leave his hometown and came to New York to seek a livelihood. Along the way, he received the help of his mentor, Mr. Ralph, and also sincerely assisted a blind man named Carlo. Despite encountering many dangers and twists, Herbert, with his courage, kindness, wit, and enthusiasm, eventually turned everything around and earned the trust of others. In return, Carlo helped him find a job in New York. Herbert's wish was finally fulfilled, but this was not the end—more good fortune awaited him.
