Peter Graves Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Peter Graves


It took a healthy dash of boldness and an unhealthy amount of curiosity to make young Peter Graves visit the lab of eccentric inventor Houghton F. Furlong. But Peter's curiosity pays off big time when he discovers Houghton has created Furloy, an antigravity metal with unlimited possibilities. Using Furloy, Houghton has constructed a gravity-defying harness that allows its wearer to leap over buildings and run fifty miles an hour. But when Peter unleashes one of Houghton's more unstable inventions, he accidentally demolishes the inventor's entire house and everything in it. To rebuild Houghton's home, Peter dons the antigravity harness and embarks on a series of fantastic money-raising stunts that attracts the attention of reporters, magicians, and a scheming businessman.
