Publisher's Synopsis
1887. Alger is the original rags-to-riches guy, often credited with inventing the strive-and-succeed spirit that inspired boys to work hard and advance themselves in order to achieve the American Dream. This theme resonates throughout his numerous writings. In The Store Boy, Ben Barclay and his mom are about to lose everything. Will Ben's honesty, hard work and dedication be enough to get them through? A tale written in Alger's most fascinating style. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
