About this book

The story of an orphan, being adopted on approval, who decides he wants to do a little "approving" also, is delightful. Fathers as well as their sons will enjoy this very Tom Sawyerish tale and it is excellent read-aloud material for family use. Warm human relations and a very realistic picture of boy life in a small Pennsylvania town add to the appeal of the book.
