"Professor Johnny" by J. Ā. K. is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows young Johnny Le Bras, affectionately nicknamed "Professor" by his friends for his love of science and experiments, along with his spirited sister Sue. Together, they navigate everyday adventures and mishaps, including dealing with the complexities of family life and unexpected visits from their mischievous cousin Felix. At the start of the narrative, the scene is set on a summer evening with Johnny and Sue at home alone, where their playful antics lead to an alarming incident involving a kerosene lamp that nearly catches fire. Johnny's calmness in a crisis showcases his thoughtful character, as he quickly solves the situation while a commotion ensues around him.
