Readers of Miss Turpin’s previous books for girls doubtless remember the Callahan family, among the  more picturesque of all the characterizations in these  delightful volumes. Peggy is a Callahan and this is her story, a story in which Anne Lewis of Honey Sweet  fame and some of the people from Happy Acres also  figure. It all has to do with the way in which Peggy rises gloriously to an emergency—how she cares for  the home while her mother is recovering from a severe  illness, brings order out of chaos, and even though she  does lose the scholarship prize in school, upon which she  has set her heart, wins something even greater and is  very happy in her choice and in that which it brings.
