Rufus and Rose; Or, The Fortunes of Rough and Ready
Horatio, Jr. Alger
Rufus earned his nickname hawking papers on New York streets; now Rough and Ready trades the newsstand for a Wall Street office, with little sister Rose to protect and old enemies still circling. Horatio Alger follows his boy hero through boarding houses, bank errands, and a dangerous scheme aimed at his hard-won savings. Grit and pluck, paid out in full. Watch a street boy rise. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
