Book Excerpt:

A very curious sensation came over Nimble Dick. He looked up the alley, and down the alley, and was glad that not one of the "fellows" was in sight. What was to become of his lark? But there was that hand still resting on his arm, with a persuasive touch in it; and he had never been appealed to for protection before,—never in his life! Was it possible that with him she would not be afraid?

I have now finished all of the Ester Reid series!!! All six books have been very enjoyable, convicting conservative writing. No one writes like Pansy (Isabelle Alden) or Martha Finley anymore.

The ending had me so frustrated when the author kept giving a glimpse into different parts of the story she didn't cover, but I now understand, since starting book 3 that you can hear more of the story by reading the other books.

Loved it just as much as the other times I've read and reread this book!

I don't know how many times I've read, re-read, and skimmed this book. I still love it each time I open the cover and start turning the pages. Flossy Roberts is so sweet and is willing to work wherever the Lord leads

Black Dirk and Nimble Dick are two of the 8 boys that Ester Ried's younger brother are anxious to influence for Christ.

A fine sequel better than the first.
