Ben, the Luggage Boy; Or, Among the Wharves
Horatio, Jr. Alger
Carrying carpetbags on the New York wharves, Ben earns pennies and keeps a secret: he ran away from a comfortable home. Alger's luggage boy works the docks among sharpers and honest folk alike, until the past comes looking for him. A street-level tour of old New York with a homecoming at stake. Pick up Ben's story where he dropped everything. 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.
