About This Book

A young shore-born boy who works to support his family struggles with a reputation for being wild while proving himself honest, skilled, and inventive in handling boats on Lake Champlain. After becoming involved in a hotel robbery accusation and a tense pursuit on the water, he confronts rival boys and troublesome passengers, improvises to escape danger, and weathers storms and personal setbacks. A retired shipmaster pioneers a practical program to teach the boys useful mechanical arts and moral duties, guiding their education through hands-on projects, seamanship, and social training that shape the group’s adventures and future prospects.

BOOKS FOR "OUR GIRLS."

THE MAIDENHOOD SERIES.

By Popular Authors.


SEVEN DAUGHTERS.

By Miss A. M. Douglas, Author of "In Trust," "Stephen Dane," "Claudia," "Sydnie Adriance," "Home Nook," "Nelly Kennard's Kingdom."

12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.

"A charming romance of Girlhood," full of incident and humor. The "Seven Daughters" are characters which reappear in some of Miss Douglas' later books. In this book they form a delightful group, hovering on the verge of Womanhood, with all the little perplexities of home life and love dreams as incidentals, making a fresh and attractive story.


OUR HELEN.

By Sophie May. 12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.

"The story is a very attractive one, as free from the sensational and impossible as could be desired, and at the same time full of interest, and pervaded by the same bright, cheery sunshine that we find in the author's earlier books. She is to be congratulated on the success of her essay in a new field of literature, to which she will be warmly welcomed by those who know and admire her 'Prudy Books.'"—Graphic.


THE ASBURY TWINS.

By Sophie May, Author of "The Doctor's Daughter," "Our Helen," &c. 12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.

"Has the ring of genuine genius, and the sparkle of a gem of the first water. We read it one cloudy winter day, and it was as good as a Turkish bath, or a three hours' soak in the sunshine."—Cooperstown Republican.


THAT QUEER GIRL.

By Miss Virginia F. Townsend, Author of "Only Girls," &c. 12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.

Queer only in being unconventional, brave and frank, an "old-fashioned girl," and very sweet and charming. As indicated in the title, is a little out of the common track, and the wooing and the winning are as queer as the heroine. The New Haven Register says: "Decidedly the best work which has appeared from the pen of Miss Townsend."


RUNNING TO WASTE.

The Story of a Tomboy. By George M. Baker. 16mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.

"This book is one of the most entertaining we have read for a long time. It is well written, full of humor, and good humor, and it has not a dull or uninteresting page. It is lively and natural, and overflowing with the best New England character and traits. There is also a touch of pathos, which always accompanies humor, in the life and death of the tomboy's mother."—Newburyport Herald.


DAISY TRAVERS;

Or the Girls of Hive Hall. By Adelaide F. Samuels, Author of "Dick and Daisy Stories," "Dick Travers Abroad," &c. 16mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.

The story of Hive Hall is full of life and action, and told in the same happy style which made the earlier life of its heroine so attractive, and caused the Dick and Daisy books to become great favorites with the young. What was said of the younger books can, with equal truth, be said of Daisy grown up.


The above six books are furnished in a handsome box for $9.00, or sold separate, by all booksellers, and sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price.
