Book Reviews of The Story of the Treasure Seekers (Nesbit)

Book Review: Great literature
Summary: 5 Stars

Fantastic writing, very realistic characters, and the situations are very real, as are the the outcomes. Some stories made us laugh out loud, and some made us cry from the simplicity and openness of honest virtue well rewarded. Not that everyone's motives are "pure" or always virtuous. For any family that is fond of good writing , though parts of the turn of the 19th century slang are difficult to follow.

Summary of The Story of the Treasure Seekers (Nesbit)

"This is the story of the different ways we looked for treasure..."

When their mother dies and their father's business partner runs off with most of their money, the six intrepid Bastable children are determined to restore their family's fallen fortunes. Theseresourceful children squabble, make up, and have many memorable adventures, from publishing their own newspaper to foiling a pair of real bandits and even becoming kidnappers themselves. But while the efforts of the Bastables are often ingenious, their good intentions always go hilariously awry. This lively, funny story perfectly captures these children's remarkable bravery and deep sense of honor. First published in 1899, this children's classic is available again for a new generation of readers with a magnificent cover illustration by Caldecott winner Paul O. Zelinsky.
