'Far to Seek' is a romance-adventure novel written by Maud Diver. The story unfolds by telling the readers that summer has arrived, and that Roy is excited for all the outdoor activities and adventures it brings. He is a bit older than his siblings Christine, Jerry, and George, and has a close friend named Tara who he shares lessons with. Tara is almost as old as Roy, but she will not be nine until next year, so he will always be a little older.
