JACK TENFIELD is a bright Boston boy, who, while preparing for college, is brought to face the fact that his father, a benevolent physician, and supposed to be well-to-do, had really left no estate. Jack resolutely defends his father’s memory, and makes the best of it. Circumstances bring much travel and many adventures, in all of which his generous, manly character rings true. That Jack is capable of being his “own star” well expresses the excellent thought of the book, which is remarkable for variety of well-told incidents.
“A clean, wholesome, enjoyable book.”—The American Boy, Detroit, Mich.
Tom Winstone, “Wide Awake”
By Martha James Large 12mo Illustrated by W. Herbert Dunton $1.00
WE have often wished that we could secure a book for boys like the undying ones written by J. T. Trowbridge, and in “Tom Winstone” we have a young hero whose story is told in a way well worthy to be compared with the work of the older writer referred to. The sterling quality shown in “My Friend Jim” is all here, and “Tom,” an older boy, equally efficient in baseball, a foot race, or a noble action, is well worth knowing.
“Any healthy boy will delight in this book.”—Living Church, Milwaukee, Wis.
