The story overall was very good however the ending wasn't spectacular. it's like it was meant to be a continuation instead of actually finishing the story ( )

What a very odd book but this one line must be saved for all eternity ""Ah, I've done that," said the girl, "and I know how many comforts I could buy for the dear Major. Also I'd like to go to a girl's college, like Smith or Wellesley, and get a proper education. "" Say what? Otherwise, this is the first of a series of what are called girl's stories written under the van Dybe named by none other than L. Frank Baum. If this is what kid's books were like in 1906, I don't wonder he tried his hand at the Oz books. I'm trying to imagine what the rest of the series could be but I think I will give them a try out. Anyway, it's oddly moralistic but much better than Madge Morton.
