After that a series of events happens, and Ben finds out his beloved father is dead. Miss Celia, a neighbor, feels sorry and comforts him, and finally offers to let Ben stay with her and her fourteen-year-old brother, Thornton who is called Thorny. After that many adventures and summer-happenings go on in Celia's house. Sancho gets lost, Ben is accused of stealing, Miss Celia even gets hurt and Ben takes a wild ride on his horse, and… The rest you'll know from reading the book.

Excellent!

(5 Sterne)

Excellent story! No drowning of kittens or harming animals in this story like some other old stories you read about. Only one about a cat and mice. That's completely natural though. Such a heartwarming story. Teaches kids important lesson too. This Author is one of my all time favorites she is so kind and teaches kids in such a sweet and kind way. She is even so kind to animals.

great story

(4 Sterne)

I enjoyed the story and so did my girls. I do prefer 1 reader for the whole book, otherwise I would have given 5 stars. thankfully all the readers read clearly enough to understand, although 1 was not as clear. I would definitely recommend this book though.

What a lovely story! Well read by a number of Readers, it ranks up there as one of my favorites by Louisa May Alcott. I have never read this story before, and found myself wanting to listen more than I had time for. Lovely story.

Great story for any age

A story similar to many of Ms Alcott works. A bit more of a boy's adventure, but great female characters as well. well read.
