Miss Reed’s girls have all the impulses and likes of real girls as their characters are developing, and her record of their thoughts and actions reads like a chapter snatched from the page of life. It is bright, genial, merry, wholesome, and full of good characterizations.Boston Herald.

Equal to the best of the recent books of school life about boys. Lively and amusing, revealing a shrewd understanding of girl nature, and containing considerable Boston local history.—The Congregationalist.

Unless we greatly err, this is a story which the girl of the times who is fortunate enough to read it will pronounce “perfectly fine.”—Brooklyn Times.

The descriptions in the book are thoroughly well done. Miss Reed seems to have discovered a new field.—Boston Budget.

A very natural story of a group of school-girls.—Outlook New York.

The book is a thoroughly entertaining one, and contains a vivid and inspiring description of a Harvard football game. . . . The illustrations by Jessie Willcox Smith are extremely good.New Orleans Picayune.

A wholesome book of schoolgirl life. . . . It is an interesting and instructive book, the sort that ought to be in Sunday-school libraries.—Church Militant, Boston.

The author knows how to “hold the mirror up to nature,” and does so with telling result.—The Watchman.
