Books We Read

I have read a great many books, but I think "Cousins in Camp,” by Theodora Wilson, is the one I like best. It is so very exciting, especially when Aunty Deb and the children are in camp. Then, when Daddy gets seriously injured in the fire, you have to cry. It is so interesting that I don’t think I shall ever enjoy another book as much as I did that one. —“Purple Heather,” Paten.

I have a very enjoyable book, which I have read over and over again, called Brother Betty. It is about a family of five girls, but they always wanted a boy, so Betty has to pretend to be the boy of the family.

One day Betty goes over to the place of the new squire whom everyone fears and dislikes. She went into the dim library to see Sir Peter. At last she gets permission to see his little boy Rupert, and ever since then they were great friends and had many adventures. — Tiffany Tess (8).

A few weeks ago I read a very interesting and amusing book called "The Two Girls in the Wild,” by by May Wynne. The tale tells of two jolly orphan girls who leave

Canada and go to England to live with their horrid old cousin. The cousin is very old-fashioned, and disapproves of their unladylike ways; she tells the girls she doesn’t want them, so they suddenly decide to return to Canada to some friends. On reaching Canada the girls have many exciting adventures with cowboys and rustlers. They help track dowu the worst gang of rustlers, and aiso get entangled in a very exciting mystery. Most girls and boys who like exciting and mysterious tales would enjoy this book.— Sunbeam (15), Atea.
