"Except for some of the language, I am really surprised by the fact that this was written in 1910. I read the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books when I was growing up, and reading this book brought me back to those days. I bought a 27-book set for my Kindle, and I'm looking forward to reading them all." — Melissa (4 out of 5 stars)
