How Joe Succeeded with the help of Grandma Howley's Gold Beads
Mary Morrison
David C. Cook
Joe is just a boy trying to find a place in the world. After he doesn't fit in on his Uncle's farm he heads for the forest to try his hand at being a Lumberjack. Being a Lumberjack is hard but Joe finds that he has a knack for it. The Lumberjack job teaches Joe the value of earning his own money. Going into town with his friends Joe also learns a few things the hard way but he eventually finds exactly what he is looking for all with the help of his grandmothers gold beads.
Personal Review
Goodness this is a good look at what literature was back in the early 20th century. Being written in 1905 this is a hard book to relate to. If I was ever teaching students the value of books this might be one that I would suggest for them to appreciate the value of books today.
