  The tone of this book is earnestly and emphatically moral, and theauthor understands that nothing makes morality so attractive to youthas to find it coupled with ingenuity, energy, and pluck.

  There is no "cant" and no "can't" about Tom Hardy, the decidedlyvigorous hero of this story. He is a safe and worthy companion of anyboy or girl, and it is predicted that he will not only win a warmplace for himself in the hearts of all who make his acquaintance, butthat he will gallantly retain it long after the covers shall haveclosed upon this chronicle of his efforts and adventures. He is anadmirable boy, yet the author, in defiance of the usual method inmodern juvenile fiction, has refused to sacrifice all of the othercharacters to the single hero. Even those whose parts are but theslightest have been so attractively presented that the reader feelsthat if the events had chanced to require it each one of them wouldhave become a hero.
