Adrift in the City follows the adventures of Oliver Conrad, who, at fifteen, lives in a country mansion with his stepfather, stepbrother and mother. Oliver’s stepfather secretly commits his mother to a madhouse to steal her estate and pretends she has died. To get Oliver out of the picture, his stepfather arranges a job for him in New York City. Olive must survive through many trials of hardship to save his mother and get home to reveal the truth of his stepfather’s evil plans.

Horatio Alger, Jr. (January 13, 1832 – July 18, 1899) was a prolific 19th-century American author, best known for his many formulaic juvenile novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on America during the Gilded Age.
