“Here are a crowd of real boys in a delightful vacation camp. The interest is sustained from the beginning to the end. The publishers have done their part to make the book attractive, paper, type, binding and illustrations are all of the best, and the picture of Billy on the cover almost equals our ideal of him. Mrs. Carr is to be congratulated on having given to American young people one of the best books which has been written for them since the death of Miss Alcott and one which places her in the very front rank of writers of juvenile fiction.”—The Week-End (Seattle).
“A good, exciting, and wholesome story of a group of boys who ‘camp out’ on the shores of Puget Sound, and have lots of fun and some troubles.”—Cincinnati Times Star.
“It gives in an interesting style the adventures of a boy with a big heart and unusual courage. The fascinations of camp life are well portrayed. A good wholesome story for boys.”—The United Presbyterian.
“A boy’s book, full of all the exciting incidents that belong to a camping-out life by a group of bright lads who are bent on enjoyment of the freedom of the woods. There are many things which would naturally happen to a bright young lad in camp and which many bright young lads not in camp will delight to read.”—Journal of Education.
“A lively and vivacious story which will gladden any sort of boy.”—The Post Intelligencer (Seattle).
“Here is a new hero in boy literature, though not entirely new, as this is his second appearance between book covers. The popularity and success of the earlier book, ‘Billy To-morrow,’ and its adoption as the title of a series indicates that this manly, full-blooded, lovable young character is to be with us some time. The story has much life, action, and withal, good sense, and it carries the best sort of moral along with an enjoyable story without the reader the least expecting it. ‘Billy’ has a promising career ahead of him.”—The Normal Instructor.
“The story is a jolly one of outdoor camping experiences, with the boy’s practical devices for comfort which young readers may find helpful for similar occasions.”—The Continent.
